Book Description

Foundations of Quantum Programming, Second Edition provides a systematic exposition of the subject of quantum programming. Emphasis is placed on foundational concepts, methods, and techniques that can be widely used for various quantum programming models and languages. The book describes how programming methodologies developed for current computers can be extended for quantum computers, along with new programming methodologies that can effectively exploit the unique power of quantum computing. In addition, this resource introduces a chain of quantum programming models from sequential to parallel and distributed programming in the paradigm of superposition-of-data to the paradigm of superposition-of-programs. Final content presents a series of logical and mathematical tools for verification and analysis of quantum programs, including invariant generation, termination analysis, and abstract interpretation.Demystifies the theory of quantum programming using a step-by-step approachIncludes methodologies, techniques, and tools for the development, analysis, and verification of quantum programs and quantum cryptographic protocolsCovers the interdisciplinary nature of quantum programming by providing preliminaries from quantum mechanics, mathematics, and computer science, and pointing out its potential applications to quantum engineering and physicsPresents a coherent and self-contained treatment that will be valuable for academic and industrial researchers and developersAdds new developments such as parallel and distributed quantum programming; and introduces several new program analysis techniques such as invariants generation and abstract interpretation
