Language-Integrated Quantum Operations:A Software Architecture for Quantum Computing
Compilers and computer-aided design tools will be essential for quantum computing. At this event, Dave Wecker will present a computer-aided design flow, called LIQUi|⟩, which transforms a high-level language program, representing a quantum algorithm, into…
