An Introduction to Quantum Computing

Andrew S. Glassner

Computer graphics relies on computing hardware for everything from animation to rendering. An emerging new technology exploits the properties of quantum objects to offer radically new ways to think about, create, and run algorithms. For example, quantum computers can evaluate many different input values simultaneously, where "many" can be larger than the number of atoms in the visible universe. The catch is that only one output can be obtained from each run. Quantum computing may change how we think about computer graphics. For example, future quantum computers may be able to intersect astronomical numbers of rays with a similarly massive database of objects in a single execution, or evaluate enormous numbers of simulation parameters in parallel to return the one set that produces a desired result. This course describes, without advanced math, the core ideas of quantum computing. We start with the quantum version of the classical bit (called a qubit) and the basic operators that modify qubits. We introduce the four essential properties that distinguish quantum computers from familiar classical computers: superposition, interference, entanglement, and measurement. We show how these properties are orchestrated to build quantum algorithms. We conclude with a brief overview of some of the most well-known quantum algorithms, and some of their possible applications in computer graphics. Quantum computers are already here, and are increasing in size and reliability at a rapid pace. Open-source simulators abound, and small quantum computers are even available for free use on the web. Classical hardware has served computer graphics well. Quantum computing offers a fundamentally new way to design and execute algorithms, which could change our field in fundamental ways. Now is the perfect time to starting thinking about quantum computing for graphics.
