Quantum Monad Using Java Closures
Bruno Crestani Calegaro, Juliana Kaiser Vizzotto · 2013
To help the understanding and development of quantum algorithms there is an effort focused on the investigation of new semantic models and programming languages for quantum computing. Researchers in computer science have the challenge of developing programming languages with high level abstraction of quantum algorithms. Based on previous works that use monads inside the programming language Haskell to elegantly explain the odd characteristics of quantum computation (like superposition), in this work we present a monadic Java library for quantum programming using the new features of anonymous functions (closures) available in the developers preview of the JDK 8 (Java Development Kit).
