A quantum computer simulator is presented. This simulator is an engineering work and no deep understanding of quantum mechanics is required from the user. The simulator is based on the circuit model of quantum computation in which quantum gates act on quantum registers which comprise a number of quantum bits (qubits). The inputs to the simulator are the initial states of the qubits that form a quantum register and the quantum gates applied at each computation step. The inputs are entered through a graphical user interface. The outputs of the simulator are the matrices that represent the quantum register state at each quantum computation step and graphical outputs that show the probability of measuring each one of the possible quantum register base states and the phase of each state at each computation step. The well-known Deutsch's algorithm and the quantum Fourier transform, which is the base of many quantum algorithms, are presented using this simulator. Furthermore, the generation and variation of entanglement during quantum computations can be calculated using this simulator. The quantum computer simulator is a useful tool for the study of quantum computer circuits, quantum computing, and the development of new quantum algorithms.

Quantum computing is a process that incorporates interacting physical systems that represent quantum bits and quantum gates. We present the quantum bit (qubit), the quantum register and the quantum gates. The qubit is described as a vector in a two-dimensional Hilbert space and the quantum register, which comprises a number of qubits, as a vector in a multidimensional Hilbert space. Quantum gates are Hilbert space operators that rotate the qubit or the quantum register vectors. Quantum computations are modeled and described using a quantum circuit model. We also present a quantum computer simulator based on the circuit model of quantum computation. In this model quantum computations and quantum algorithms are represented by circuits, which comprise quantum gates and quantum registers. The well-known Deutsch's algorithm is described and the corresponding quantum circuit is presented. Possible applications of quantum computers are be presented and discussed.

Quick Quantum Circuit Simulation (QQCS) is a software system for computing the result of a quantum circuit using a notation that derives directly from the circuit, expressed in a single input line. Quantum circuits begin with an initial quantum state of one or more qubits, which are the quantum analog to classical bits. The initial state is modified by a sequence of quantum gates, quantum machine language instructions, to get the final state. Measurements are made of the final state and displayed as a classical binary result. Measurements are postponed to the end of the circuit because a quantum state collapses when measured and produces probabilistic results, a consequence of quantum uncertainty. A circuit may be run many times on a quantum computer to refine the probabilistic result. Mathematically, quantum states are 2n -dimensional vectors over the complex number field, where n is the number of qubits. A gate is a 2n ×2n unitary matrix of complex values. Matrix multiplication models the application of a gate to a quantum state. QQCS is a mathematical rendering of each step of a quantum algorithm represented as a circuit, and as such, can present a trace of the quantum state of the circuit after each gate, compute gate equivalents for each circuit step, and perform measurements at any point in the circuit without state collapse. Output displays are in vector coefficients or Dirac bra-ket notation. It is an easy-to-use educational tool for students new to quantum computing.
A quantum gate is the quantum analog of the classical logic gate of digital computers. It is a basic structural unit of a quantum circuit which operates on a small number of qubits to deliver a predefined output. A quantum circuit is a graphical representation of the sequence of the quantum gates used and the measurements performed in a quantum computation. Various quantum logic gates, namely, the Hadamard, T phase, NOT, Pauli-X, controlled NOT (CNOT), controlled-Z, SWAP and controlled phase gates as well as higher-level Toffoli and Fredkin gates are described. Conventions of reading quantum circuit diagrams are explained. Operation of a quantum full adder consisting of registers and gates is discussed, elaborating the role of the NOT gate, the sum calculation with CNOTgates and the carry C-out calculation with Toffoli gates. A primary tool used for performing arithmetic operations on a quantum computer is the quantum Fourier transform (QFT). The QFT adder and multiplier circuits are presented.
AbstractThe quantum computing has been proven to provide the solutions to most complex computations in the world today. Quantum computers can solve the problems with polynomial resources. Quantum information can be encoded in a number of ways, such as spin components of basic particles like photons, electrons, and polarization of photons. The quantum computer uses quantum bits which are superposition of states called as qubits, which is the classical fundamental unit of information. A quantum computer is a regular classical computer with additional ability to control the quantum bits. It is a regular computer connected to a special peripherals and a set of quantum bits simulated to build controller architecture. Two simulators are used for the quantum programming, one is Microsoft Q# and other is IBM Qiskit. Classical language Q # is used to program the quantum controller and its operations such that initializing a qubit, applying a gate on a qubit and measuring a qubit. IBM Qiskit programs simulates the functionality of quantum circuit and creates it’s drawing using a graphical interface with qubits, gates, and measurements. Qiskit provides simulators that run quantum circuits using visualization tools that help to understand the effect of our quantum circuits on the quantum states. The teleportation technique allows the quantum information to be communicated at a distance. An unbreakable encryption protocol is built for polarizing photons through the quantum channel. The combination of quantum computing and AI has the potential to drive significant advances across many sectors.
The Quantum Computer Emulator (QCE) described in this paper consists of a simulator of a generic, general purpose quantum computer and a graphical user interface. The latter is used to control the simulator, to define the hardware of the quantum computer and to debug and execute quantum algorithms. QCE runs in a Windows 98/NT/2000/ME/XP environment. It can be used to validate designs of physically realizable quantum processors and as an interactive educational tool to learn about quantum computers and quantum algorithms. A detailed exposition is given of the implementation of the CNOT and the Toffoli gate, the quantum Fourier transform, Grover's database search algorithm, an order finding algorithm, Shor's algorithm, a three-input adder and a number partitioning algorithm. We also review the results of simulations of an NMR-like quantum computer.
