Quantum programming

(Redirected from Quantum programming language)

Quantum programming is the process of designing or assembling sequences of instructions, called quantum circuits, using gates, switches, and operators to manipulate a quantum system for a desired outcome or results of a given experiment. Quantum circuit algorithms can be implemented on integrated circuits, conducted with instrumentation, or written in a programming language for use with a quantum computer or a quantum processor.

With quantum processor based systems, quantum programming languages help express quantum algorithms using high-level constructs.[1] The field is deeply rooted in the open-source philosophy and as a result most of the quantum software discussed in this article is freely available as open-source software.[2]

Quantum computers, such as those based on the KLM protocol, a linear optical quantum computing (LOQC) model, use quantum algorithms (circuits) implemented with electronics, integrated circuits, instrumentation, sensors, and/or by other physical means.[not verified in body]

Other circuits designed for experimentation related to quantum systems can be instrumentation and sensor based.[not verified in body]

Quantum instruction sets

edit

Quantum instruction sets are used to turn higher level algorithms into physical instructions that can be executed on quantum processors. Sometimes these instructions are specific to a given hardware platform, e.g. ion traps or superconducting qubits.

Quantum programming languages

edit

There are two main groups of quantum programming languages: imperative quantum programming languages and functional quantum programming languages.

Imperative languages

edit

The most prominent representatives of the imperative languages are QCL,[45] LanQ[46] and Q|SI>.[47]

Ket

edit

Ket[48] is an open-source embedded language designed to facilitate quantum programming, leveraging the familiar syntax and simplicity of Python. It serves as an integral component of the Ket Quantum Programming Platform,[49] seamlessly integrating with a Rust runtime library and a quantum simulator. Maintained by Quantuloop, the project emphasizes accessibility and versatility for researchers and developers. The following example demonstrates the implementation of a Bell state using Ket:

from ket import *
a, b = quant(2) # Allocate two quantum bits
H(a) # Put qubit `a` in a superposition
cnot(a, b) # Entangle the two qubits in the Bell state
m_a = measure(a) # Measure qubit `a`, collapsing qubit `b` as well
m_b = measure(b) # Measure qubit `b`
# Assert that the measurement of both qubits will always be equal
assert m_a.value == m_b.value

LQP

edit

The Logic of Quantum Programs (LQP) is a dynamic quantum logic, capable of expressing important features of quantum measurements and unitary evolutions of multi-partite states, and provides logical characterizations of various forms of entanglement. The logic has been used to specify and verify the correctness of various protocols in quantum computation.[50][51]

Q language

edit

Q Language is the second implemented imperative quantum programming language.[52] Q Language was implemented as an extension of C programming language. It provides classes for basic quantum operations like QHadamard, QFourier, QNot, and QSwap, which are derived from the base class Qop. New operators can be defined using C class mechanism.

Quantum memory is represented by class Qreg. 

Qreg x1; // 1-qubit quantum register with initial value 0
Qreg x2(2,0); // 2-qubit quantum register with initial value 0

The computation process is executed using a provided simulator. Noisy environments can be simulated using parameters of the simulator.

Q#

edit
Main article: Q Sharp

A language developed by Microsoft to be used with the Quantum Development Kit.[53]

QCL

edit
Main article: Quantum Computation Language

Quantum Computation Language (QCL) is one of the first implemented quantum programming languages.[54] The most important feature of QCL is the support for user-defined operators and functions. Its syntax resembles the syntax of the C programming language and its classical data types are similar to primitive data types in C. One can combine classical code and quantum code in the same program.

qGCL

edit

Quantum Guarded Command Language (qGCL) was defined by P. Zuliani in his PhD thesis. It is based on Guarded Command Language created by Edsger Dijkstra.

It can be described as a language of quantum programs specification.

QMASM

edit

Quantum Macro Assembler (QMASM) is a low-level language specific to quantum annealers such as the D-Wave.[55]

Qmod

edit

Quantum Modeling (Qmod) language is a high-level language that abstracts away the gate-level qubit operation, providing a functional approach to the implementation of quantum algorithms on quantum registers. The language is part of the Classiq platform and can be used directly with its native syntax, through a Python SDK, or with a visual editor, all methods can take advantage of the larger library of algorithms and the efficient circuit optimization.

Q|SI>

edit

Q|SI> is a platform embedded in .Net language supporting quantum programming in a quantum extension of while-language.[47][56] This platform includes a compiler of the quantum while-language[57] and a chain of tools for the simulation of quantum computation, optimisation of quantum circuits, termination analysis of quantum programs,[58] and verification of quantum programs.[59][60]

Quantum pseudocode

edit

Quantum pseudocode proposed by E. Knill is the first formalized language for description of quantum algorithms. It was introduced and, moreover, was tightly connected with a model of quantum machine called Quantum Random Access Machine (QRAM).

Scaffold

edit

Scaffold is C-like language, that compiles to QASM and OpenQASM. It is built on top of the LLVM Compiler Infrastructure to perform optimizations on Scaffold code before generating a specified instruction set.[61][62]

Silq

edit

Silq is a high-level programming language for quantum computing with a strong static type system, developed at ETH Zürich.[63][64]

Functional languages

edit

Efforts are underway to develop functional programming languages for quantum computing. Functional programming languages are well-suited for reasoning about programs. Examples include Selinger's QPL,[65] and the Haskell-like language QML by Altenkirch and Grattage.[66][67] Higher-order quantum programming languages, based on lambda calculus, have been proposed by van Tonder,[68] Selinger and Valiron[69] and by Arrighi and Dowek.[70]

LIQUi|>

edit

LIQUi|> (pronounced liquid) is a quantum simulation extension on the F# programming language.[71] It is currently being developed by the Quantum Architectures and Computation Group (QuArC)[72] part of the StationQ efforts at Microsoft Research. LIQUi|> seeks to allow theorists to experiment with quantum algorithm design before physical quantum computers are available for use.[73]

It includes a programming language, optimization and scheduling algorithms, and quantum simulators. LIQUi|> can be used to translate a quantum algorithm written in the form of a high-level program into the low-level machine instructions for a quantum device.[74]


QFC and QPL

edit

QFC and QPL are two closely related quantum programming languages defined by Peter Selinger. They differ only in their syntax: QFC uses a flow chart syntax, whereas QPL uses a textual syntax. These languages have classical control flow but can operate on quantum or classical data. Selinger gives a denotational semantics for these languages in a category of superoperators.

QML

edit

QML is a Haskell-like quantum programming language by Altenkirch and Grattage.[75][66] Unlike Selinger's QPL, this language takes duplication, rather than discarding, of quantum information as a primitive operation. Duplication in this context is understood to be the operation that maps   to  , and is not to be confused with the impossible operation of cloning; the authors claim it is akin to how sharing is modeled in classical languages. QML also introduces both classical and quantum control operators, whereas most other languages rely on classical control.

An operational semantics for QML is given in terms of quantum circuits, while a denotational semantics is presented in terms of superoperators, and these are shown to agree. Both the operational and denotational semantics have been implemented (classically) in Haskell.[76]

Quantum lambda calculi

edit

Quantum lambda calculi are extensions of the classical lambda calculus introduced by Alonzo Church and Stephen Cole Kleene in the 1930s. The purpose of quantum lambda calculi is to extend quantum programming languages with a theory of higher-order functions.

The first attempt to define a quantum lambda calculus was made by Philip Maymin in 1996.[77] His lambda-q calculus is powerful enough to express any quantum computation. However, this language can efficiently solve NP-complete problems, and therefore appears to be strictly stronger than the standard quantum computational models (such as the quantum Turing machine or the quantum circuit model). Therefore, Maymin's lambda-q calculus is probably not implementable on a physical device [citation needed].

In 2003, André van Tonder defined an extension of the lambda calculus suitable for proving correctness of quantum programs. He also provided an implementation in the Scheme programming language.[78]

In 2004, Selinger and Valiron defined a strongly typed lambda calculus for quantum computation with a type system based on linear logic.[79]

Quipper

edit
For the education technology company, see Quipper (company).

Quipper was published in 2013.[80][81] It is implemented as an embedded language, using Haskell as the host language.[82] For this reason, quantum programs written in Quipper are written in Haskell using provided libraries. For example, the following code implements preparation of a superposition 

import Quipper

spos :: Bool -> Circ Qubit
spos b = do q <- qinit b
            r <- hadamard q
            return r
