Chapter 17

Working with QASM

Chapter Objectives

After reading this chapter and completing the review questions, you will be able to do the following:

  • Understand the fundamentals of QASM

  • Write QASM programs

  • Create quantum simulations with QASM

Quantum Assembly Language (QASM) is a programming language specifically for quantum programs. It is used to simulate quantum gates and quantum algorithms. You use an online editor (https://www.quantum-inspire.com/projects/6923062) to write QASM code. That editor is shown in Figure 17.1.

The screenshot of the quantum inspire editor is shown.
