Séminaire ICE : « All You Wanted to Know About Quantum Programming Without Daring to Ask »

Abstract

In this talk, I will present quantum computation from the perspective of the programmer. The talk will first present the computational model, what can (and cannot) be done with quantum information, and how quantum algorithms are structured. We shall then discuss the current approaches for quantum programming and quantum compilation toolchains.
