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:
“But how is one to make a scientist understand that there is something unalterably deranged about differential calculus, quantum theory, or the obscene and so inanely liturgical ordeals of the precession of the equinoxes.”
—Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)
“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)
