The sum-over-histories formulation of quantum computing

arXiv:quant-ph/0607151

Abstract

Since Deutsch (1985), quantum computers have been modeled exclusively in the language of state vectors and the Schroedinger equation. We present a complementary view of quantum circuits inspired by the path integral formalism of quantum mechanics, and examine its application to some simple textbook problems.
