An Introduction to Quantum Programming in Quipper

Understand

Quipper is a recently developed programming language for expressing quantum computations.

• This paper gives a brief tutorial introduction to the language, through a demonstration of how to make use of some of its key features.
• We illustrate many of Quipper's language features by developing a few well known examples of Quantum computation, including quantum teleportation, the quantum Fourier transform, and a quantum circuit for addition.
