Abstract:The use and adoption of quantum computers by the wider computing community has been impeded by the need to adopt new programming techniques. These techniques involve moving from a high-level language where the programmer can define and manipulate objects, to a quantum model where the programmer defines and configures the circuits at a gate level. A jump too far for many. Previous work by the authors aimed to ease this transition through the use of a software development kit (Qx86 SDK) that emulates a tradition… Show more
