Download or read book Automatic Quantum Computer Programming written by Lee Spector and published by Springer. This book was released on 2006-10-04 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once realized, the potential of large-scale quantum computers promises to radically transform computer science. Despite large-scale international efforts, however, essential questions about the potential of quantum algorithms are still unanswered. Automatic Quantum Computer Programming is an introduction both to quantum computing for non-physicists and to genetic programming for non-computer-scientists. The book explores several ways in which genetic programming can support automatic quantum computer programming and presents detailed descriptions of specific techniques, along with several examples of their human-competitive performance on specific problems.
