Chapter 7: Verification of quantum programs

Abstract

This chapter describes an architecture of quantum program verifiers. Then several ideas and theoretical tools for scalable and efficient verification of quantum programs are presented, including proof localisation, Birkhoff–von Neumann quantum logic and symbolic reasoning.

Keywords

Quantum program verifier; Verification condition generation; Localisation; Assertion language; Birkhoff–von Neumann quantum logic; Effect calculus

The importance of verification of quantum programs was already pointed out in Section 1.1.3, and current approaches to it were also briefly discussed there. In the previous two chapters, we have defined syntax and semantics of sequential quantum programs, and developed a program ...
