For those wary of quantum’s “seedy” reputation in its potential to break encryption systems, Yuan says it’s still not very well known to what extent quantum computers will actually be able to reach their performance promises in practice. “There’s a lot of research that’s going on in...
The prospect of greater computing power in quantum systems is intriguing, but it comes with some awkward constraints. To begin with, every function computed by a quantum system must be fully reversible. If the machine grinds up input...
He adds: “Our quantum programming language Silq allows programmers to utilize the potential of quantum computers better than with existing languages because the code is more compact, faster, more intuitive, and easier to understand for programmers.” This week, Vechev will introduce Silq to other...
For certain "quantum algorithms", i.e. computational strategies, it is also known that they are faster than classical algorithms, which do not exploit the potential of quantum computers. To date, however, these algorithms still cannot be calculated on existing quantum hardware because quantum comput...
One of the main ideas behind Silq involves dealing with so-called“garbage”created during computation. This is something that classical computers are not so sensitive to, but which can cause errors for quantum computer calculations. The “garbage” finds its way into quantum programming because of...
QCL fills this gap by providing a high-level, architecture-independent programming language for quantum computers, with a syntax derived from classical procedural languages like C and Pascal. This enables physicists and programmers to implement and simulate quantum algorithms in a traditional computer sci...
Quantum computers promise to solve certain problems that are intractable for classical computers, such as factoring large numbers and simulating quantum systems. To date, research in quantum computer engineering has focused primarily at opposite ends of the required system stack: devising high-level pr...
Quantum Computing Language (QCL) is a quantum programming language which is used to write programs for quantum computers. A quantum program has to be run on a classical computer, which in turn controls a quantum computer. The quantum program takes classical input and produces classical output like...
Quantum programming languages are essential to translate ideas into instructions that can be executed by a quantum computer. Not only are they crucial to the programming of quantum computers at scale but also they can facilitate the discovery and develop
The quantum circuit model is an abstraction that hides the underlying physical implementation of gates and measurements on a quantum computer. For precise control of real quantum hardware, the ability to execute pulse and readout-level instructions is required. To that end, we introduce Qiskit ...
