Proto-Quipper with Dynamic Lifting

Quipper is a functional programming language for quantum computing. Proto-Quipper is a family of languages aiming to provide a formal foundation for Quipper. In this paper, we extend Proto-Quipper-M with a construct called dynamic lifting, which is …

A biset-enriched categorical model for Proto-Quipper with dynamic lifting

Quipper and Proto-Quipper are a family of quantum programming languages that, by their nature as circuit description languages, involve two runtimes: one at which the program generates a circuit and one at which the circuit is executed, normally with …

Formalization of Metatheory of the Quipper Quantum Programming Language in a Linear Logic

We develop a linear logical framework within the Hybrid system and use it to reason about the type system of a quantum lambda calculus. In particular, we consider a practical version of the calculus called Proto-Quipper, which contains the core of …

Algebraic and Logical Methods in Quantum Computation

This thesis contains contributions to the theory of quantum computation. We first define a new method to efficiently approximate special unitary operators. Specifically, given a special unitary U and a precision epsilon 0, we show how to efficiently …
