Title: Conventions for quantum pseudocode

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/366453· OSTI ID:366453

A few conventions for thinking about and writing quantum pseudocode are proposed. The conventions can be used for presenting any quantum algorithm down to the lowest level and are consistent with a quantum random access machine (QRAM) model for quantum computing. In principle a formal version of quantum pseudocode could be used in a future extension of a conventional language.
