đ©đ H-hat quantum programming language
What H-hat is
- A quantum programming language family and the ecosystem to build it
- An abstraction layer above QASM-like languages
- A language to
- Use higher-level abstraction to harness quantum resources, such as superposition, entanglement, etc.
- Need no specialized knowledge on quantum mechanics or quantum information theory
- Close the gap between developers/programmers/computer scientists and quantum physicists
- Use quantum data and quantum data structures to reason about quantum information processing
- Solve problems using quantum logic, but not raw quantum mechanics approach
What H-hat is not
- A replacement for quantum logic-level quantum computation (circuit-like quantum computing, for instance), such as QASM-like languages
- A full stack programming language with direct access to the hardware
- A simulator
Language features
- Code reasoning closer to classical programming languages
- Quantum data types, variables, functions just as its classical counterpart
- Additionally, there is quantum primitives to define some general platform-dependent instruction set
- Classical and quantum parts have similar syntaxes and components
- Quantum variables:
- hold quantum and classical instructions
- execute its content and perform measurement once a cast function is called upon it
- re-execute the same data content every time it is cast
- Platform- and quantum logic language- independent
- Can hold many syntaxes/dialects implementations to work in harmony with each other
