Conventions for Quantum Pseudocode

arXiv:2211.02559

Abstract

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.

This is a report from 1996 that is still occasionally consulted but was not readily available in a modern format
