论文摘要
基于门的量子编程语言无处不在,但目前仅在纸上存在基于测量的语言。这项工作介绍了麦克贝斯(McBeth),这是一种量子编程语言,允许程序员通过构建测量计算来直接表示,编程和模拟基于测量的和群集状态计算。虽然McBeth程序打算直接在硬件上执行,但要利用当前的机器,我们还为基于门的说明提供了编译器。我们认为,与基于门基于通用的量子算法和分布式量子计算相比,基于测量的量子计算具有明显的优势。
Gate-based quantum programming languages are ubiquitous but measurement-based languages currently exist only on paper. This work introduces MCBeth, a quantum programming language which allows programmers to directly represent, program, and simulate measurement-based and cluster state computation by building upon the measurement calculus. While MCBeth programs are meant to be executed directly on hardware, to take advantage of current machines we also provide a compiler to gate-based instructions. We argue that there are clear advantages to measurement-based quantum computation compared to gate-based when it comes to implementing common quantum algorithms and distributed quantum computation.
