Whirlwind Tour of Quantum Programming

Abstract

The triumph of the graphical user interface has been one of the most impressive developments in software during the past three decades.1 Today the concept is so familiar as to need no description. Although from the beginning, windows, icons, menus, and pointing have been intuitive and easy to grasp for users, they remain a challenge for programmers. The internal GUI architecture baffles many newcomers, who often find it strange, backwards, mind-boggling, or weird. GUI programming is different because unlike traditional data processing, it is entirely event-driven. Events can occur at any time in any order. The application always must be prepared to handle them. GUI is an example of a complex reactive system.

JOINUS : A New Graphical Interface Software For Simulating Josephson-based Superconducting Digital Circuits

Sasan Razmkhah, Pascal Febvre

Advancement in the field of superconductor circuits requires better designing tools and computer-aided programs. The JOINUS program is developed as part of the ColdFlux/SuperTools project. It features a user-friendly environment with several useful tools to design superconductor circuits based on Josephson junctions. The program can work with different Josephson simulator engines and embeds several new functionalities.We pursue two main goals to develop the software with a multi-platform capability. The first goal is to provide a graphical user interface environment that is easy to use and can be handled quickly with a simple user guide and some helpful examples. That also includes the automation of some tasks to perform in the course of a design sequence. The objective is to make newcomers to the field of superconducting electronics more interested and inclined to start using and designing simple digital circuits in a short time and a simple way. The second goal is to improve already established models that are sometimes inaccurate or even inappropriate. The software is not just a user-friendly interface, it also provides improved models and many new functionalities.

FeynmanPAQS: a graphical interface program for photonic analog quantum computing

Hao Long Tang, Xiao-Jun Xu, Yanyan Zhu +5 more

We present a user-friendly software for photonic analog quantum computing with a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows for convenient operation without requiring programming skills. Hamiltonians can be flexibly set by either importing the waveguide position files or manually plotting the configuration on the interactive board of the GUI. Our software provides a powerful approach to theoretical studies of two-dimensional quantum walks, quantum stochastic walks, multiparticle quantum walks, and boson sampling, which may all be feasibly implemented in the physical experimental system on photonic chips, and it will inspire a rich diversity of applications for photonic quantum computing and quantum simulation. We have improved algorithms to ensure the efficiency of permanent calculation and provided case studies on educational uses, which bring users easier access to the studies of photonic quantum simulation.

Arbitrary Configurable 20-Channel Coincidence Counting Unit for Multi-Qubit Quantum Experiment

Byung Kwon Park, Yong‐Su Kim, Young‐Wook Cho +2 more

This paper presents a 20-channel coincidence counting unit (CCU) using a low-end field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The architecture of the CCU can be configured arbitrarily to measure from twofold to twentyfold coincidence counts thanks to a multifold controllable architecture, which can be easily manipulated by a graphical user interface (GUI) program. In addition, it provides up to 20 of each input signal count simultaneously. The experimental results show twentyfold coincidence counts with the resolution occurring in a less than 0.5 ns coincidence window. This CCU has appropriate characteristics for various quantum optics experiments using multi-photon qubits.
