THERE IS IN PROGRAM A DEVELOPEMENT AND DOCUMENTATION of QUIDE libraries

[Giuseppe Corrente]

Good morning,

I am using QuIDE, and it is a very beatiful tool for understand and teach quantum computing. very beatiful!!

Now I am in a research team about reversible computing and I would like to develop a similar tool for reversible computing.

To modify QUIDE as it is in my opinion is too complex,

but if I had some basic library and use manual of QuIDE libraries I would like very much to create a tool similkar than quide , with 'quide functions' as a starting point,

so to develop and to have a tool 'ReversibleIDE' that allows us to experiment

a lot of ideas we have about reversibile computation.

Can you give me some information about?

Thank you, PhD Giuseppe Corrente, Torino University.

Dear Giuseppe Corrente,

thank you for all the good words about QuIDE!

I apologise for such a long delay in replying to your email. Unfortunately, we haven't been developing this project since March 2016. However, QuIDE is still being used in Quantum Information classes at the AGH University. Please contact dr Katarzyna Rycerz or dr Marian Bubak for more information.

I hope your research about reversible computing is going well. Did you manage to build the tool you written about?

If it's not too late, I can briefly explain the idea that we used in QuIDE: we simply based on the fact that the quantum operations (except measurement) are reversible and calculated the step back just using simple matrix operations. No library was used for this goal. Of course, we used libraries for numeric operations on complex numbers, for some GUI components (such as AvalonEdit text editor), and the built-in support for run-time parsing the source code. The step back is evaluated similarly to step forth, by using simple matrix operations (see QuantumParser/StepEvaluator.cs).

Should you have more questions, please don't hesitate to contact me, dr Katarzyna Rycerz or dr Marian Bubak. I'll certainly answer much more swiftly than this time. I wish you every success in your research.

Best regards,

Joanna Patrzyk
