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)
“A funeral is not death, any more than baptism is birth or marriage union. All three are the clumsy devices, coming now too late, now too early, by which Society would register the quick motions of man.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
