Editing Towards an Architecture for Quantum Programming

Title: Towards an Architecture for Quantum Programming

Main Research Question: How can we design a programming language and architecture that effectively bridges the gap between classical and quantum computing?

Methodology: The authors propose a template high-level quantum language that complements a generic general-purpose classical language with a set of quantum primitives. This language can compactly express existing quantum algorithms and reduce them to sequences of elementary operations, making it easy for programmers to work with.

Results: The authors present a preliminary implementation of their ideas using the C++ language. This implementation demonstrates the feasibility of their approach and its potential to simplify quantum circuit construction.

Implications: This work contributes to the ongoing efforts to develop a practical framework for quantum programming. It provides a potential solution to the challenge of efficiently translating high-level quantum algorithms into low-level primitives, which is crucial for the development of quantum computing hardware and software.
