Chapter 8
Quantum Architecture
Chapter Objectives
After reading this chapter and completing the review questions, you will be able to do the following:
Explain the logical topology of quantum computers
Articulate different qubit storage technologies
Understand quantum gates
Explain quantum annealing
In this chapter we delve deeper into the mechanics of quantum computing. We will deepen our exploration of qubits and cover quantum gates as well as quantum circuits. Just as importantly, we will discuss noncircuit approaches, such as those used by D-Wave. In order to fully grasp subsequent chapters, such as Chapter 9, “Quantum Hardware,” and Chapter 10, “Quantum Algorithms,” it is critical that you obtain a working knowledge of quantum gates and ...
