A quantum register (also known as a qregister) is the quantum mechanical analogue of a classical processor register.
A mathematical description of a quantum register is achieved by using a tensor product of qubit bra or ket vectors. For example, an n qubit quantum register is described by an element in the tensor product Hilbert space
Famous quotes containing the words quantum and/or register:
“A personality is an indefinite quantum of traits which is subject to constant flux, change, and growth from the birth of the individual in the world to his death. A character, on the other hand, is a fixed and definite quantum of traits which, though it may be interpreted with slight differences from age to age and actor to actor, is nevertheless in its essentials forever fixed.”
—Hubert C. Heffner (1901–1985)
“In 1872 I received a request like this and I did register and vote, for which I was arrested, convicted and fined $100. Excuse me if I decline to repeat the experience.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
