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)
“Our fear that Communism might some day take over most of the world blinds us to the fact that anti-communism already has.”
