Methods for Quantum Circuit Design and Simulation

Abstract

The goal of quantum computing is to harness the unique properties of quantum mechanics to perform computations that are beyond the capabilities of traditional, classical circuits based on transistors. A quantum circuit is an established way of expressing a quantum algorithm. This thesis will describe the development of a workflow for the design and simulation of quantum circuits, as well as the use of this workflow to express and simulate a set of well-known quantum algorithms. This workflow is also used to simulate and analyze a set of well-known quantum error correction schemes.
