Human-Competitive Evolution of Quantum Computing Artefacts by Genetic Programming
We show how Genetic Programming (GP) can be used to evolve useful quantum computing artefacts of increasing sophistication and usefulness: firstly specific quantum circuits, then ...

Is the Brain a Quantum Computer?
We argue that computation via quantum mechanical processes is irrelevant to explaining how brains produce thought, contrary to the ongoing speculations of many theorists. First, q...

A Quantum Game Semantics for the Measurement Calculus
In this paper we present a game semantics for a quantum programming language based on a new definition of quantum strategies. The language studied is MCdata, a typed version of th...

Quantum Data and Control Made Easier
In this paper we define nQML, a functional quantum programming language that follows the "quantum data and control" paradigm. In comparison to Altenkirch and Grattage�...

Game Semantics for Quantum Stores
This paper presents a game semantics for a simply-typed -calculus equipped with quantum stores. The quantum stores are equipped with quantum operations as commands which give the ...

Cost Reduction in Nearest Neighbour Based Synthesis of Quantum Boolean Circuits
Quantum computer algorithms require an `oracle' as an integral part. An oracle is a reversible quantum Boolean circuit, where the inputs are kept unchanged at the outputs and ...

Design of Reversible/Quantum Ternary Comparator Circuits
Multiple-valued quantum circuits are promising choices for future quantum computing technology, since the multiple-valued quantum system is more compact than the corresponding bina...

Closed Timelike Curves Make Quantum and Classical Computing Equivalent
While closed timelike curves (CTCs) are not known to exist, studying their consequences has led to nontrivial insights in general relativity, quantum information, and other areas....

A Quantum Time-Space Lower Bound for the Counting Hierarchy
We obtain the first nontrivial time-space lower bound for quantum algorithms solving problems related to satisfiability. Our bound applies to MajSAT and MajMajSAT, which are compl...

Time-Space Efficient Simulations of Quantum Computations
We give two time- and space-efficient simulations of quantum computations with intermediate measurements, one by classical randomized computations with unbounded error and the oth...
