Informatique quantiqueL'informatique quantique est le sous-domaine de l'informatique qui traite des calculateurs quantiques et des associés. La notion s'oppose à celle d'informatique dite « classique » n'utilisant que des phénomènes de physique classique, notamment de l'électricité (exemple du transistor) ou de mécanique classique (exemple historique de la machine analytique). En effet, l'informatique quantique utilise également des phénomènes de la mécanique quantique, à savoir l'intrication quantique et la superposition.
Quantum algorithmIn quantum computing, a quantum algorithm is an algorithm which runs on a realistic model of quantum computation, the most commonly used model being the quantum circuit model of computation. A classical (or non-quantum) algorithm is a finite sequence of instructions, or a step-by-step procedure for solving a problem, where each step or instruction can be performed on a classical computer. Similarly, a quantum algorithm is a step-by-step procedure, where each of the steps can be performed on a quantum computer.
Trapped ion quantum computerA trapped ion quantum computer is one proposed approach to a large-scale quantum computer. Ions, or charged atomic particles, can be confined and suspended in free space using electromagnetic fields. Qubits are stored in stable electronic states of each ion, and quantum information can be transferred through the collective quantized motion of the ions in a shared trap (interacting through the Coulomb force).
Information quantiqueLa théorie de l'information quantique, parfois abrégée simplement en information quantique, est un développement de la théorie de l'information de Claude Shannon exploitant les propriétés de la mécanique quantique, notamment le principe de superposition ou encore l'intrication. L'unité qui est utilisée pour quantifier l'information quantique est le qubit, par analogie avec le bit d'information classique.
Quantum algorithm for linear systems of equationsThe quantum algorithm for linear systems of equations, also called HHL algorithm, designed by Aram Harrow, Avinatan Hassidim, and Seth Lloyd, is a quantum algorithm published in 2008 for solving linear systems. The algorithm estimates the result of a scalar measurement on the solution vector to a given linear system of equations. The algorithm is one of the main fundamental algorithms expected to provide a speedup over their classical counterparts, along with Shor's factoring algorithm, Grover's search algorithm, and the quantum fourier transform.
Quantum programmingQuantum programming is the process of designing or assembling sequences of instructions, called quantum circuits, using gates, switches, and operators to manipulate a quantum system for a desired outcome or results of a given experiment. Quantum circuit algorithms can be implemented on integrated circuits, conducted with instrumentation, or written in a programming language for use with a quantum computer or a quantum processor. With quantum processor based systems, quantum programming languages help express quantum algorithms using high-level constructs.
Nuclear magnetic resonance quantum computerNuclear magnetic resonance quantum computing (NMRQC) is one of the several proposed approaches for constructing a quantum computer, that uses the spin states of nuclei within molecules as qubits. The quantum states are probed through the nuclear magnetic resonances, allowing the system to be implemented as a variation of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. NMR differs from other implementations of quantum computers in that it uses an ensemble of systems, in this case molecules, rather than a single pure state.
Suprématie quantiqueLa suprématie quantique, aussi appelée avantage quantique, désigne le nombre de qubits au-delà duquel plus aucun superordinateur classique n'est capable de gérer la croissance exponentielle de la mémoire et la bande passante de communication nécessaire pour simuler son équivalent quantique. Les superordinateurs de 2017 peuvent reproduire les résultats d'un ordinateur quantique de , mais à partir de cela devient physiquement impossible. Le seuil d'environ 50 qubits correspond à la limite théorique de la suprématie quantique.
Langage de description de matérielUn langage de description de matériel, ou du matériel (ou HDL pour hardware description language en anglais) est un langage informatique permettant la description d'un circuit électronique au niveau des transferts de registres (RTL). Celui-ci peut décrire les fonctions réalisées par le circuit (description comportementale) ou les portes logiques utilisées par le circuit (description structurelle). Il est possible d'observer le fonctionnement d'un circuit électronique modélisé dans un langage de description grâce à la simulation.
Quantum networkQuantum networks form an important element of quantum computing and quantum communication systems. Quantum networks facilitate the transmission of information in the form of quantum bits, also called qubits, between physically separated quantum processors. A quantum processor is a small quantum computer being able to perform quantum logic gates on a certain number of qubits. Quantum networks work in a similar way to classical networks. The main difference is that quantum networking, like quantum computing, is better at solving certain problems, such as modeling quantum systems.
