Quantum Register

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:

    The receipt to make a speaker, and an applauded one too, is short and easy.—Take of common sense quantum sufficit, add a little application to the rules and orders of the House, throw obvious thoughts in a new light, and make up the whole with a large quantity of purity, correctness, and elegancy of style.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Never to walk from the station’s lamps and laurels
    Carrying my father’s lean old leather case
    Crumbling like the register at the hotel....
