Q|SI〉: A Quantum Programming Environment
share
This paper describes a quantum programming environment, named Q|SI〉. It is a platform embedded in the .Net language that supports quantum programming using a quantum extension of the while-language. The framework of the platform includes a compiler of the quantum while-language and a suite of tools for simulating quantum computation, optimizing quantum circuits, and analyzing and verifying quantum programs. Throughout the paper, using Q|SI〉 to simulate quantum behaviors on classical platforms with a combination of components is demonstrated. The scalable framework allows the user to program customized functions on the platform. The compiler works as the core of Q|SI〉 bridging the gap from quantum hardware to quantum software. The built-in decomposition algorithms enable the universal quantum computation on the present quantum hardware.
