Digital Quantum Computing

This section provides the quick start guide for programming digital quantum circuits using Bloqade.

Open Quantum Assembly Language (QASM2)

Bloqade provides a set of dialects for QASM2 and our custom extensions to model parallel gates in neutral atom architectures. The QASM2 dialect is a simple quantum assembly language that allows you to write quantum circuits in a human-readable format. However, one should note that QASM2 is a very restricted language and does not support all the features of a high-level language.

For example, there is a separation of gate routines declared with gate and main program written as a sequence of gate applications. While the gate routine is similar to a function in many ways, it does not support high-level features such as recursions (due to lack of if statement support inside) or control flows.

While in our initial release, we support QASM2 as the first eDSL, we plan to use it as a compile target instead of a programming language for long-term development. We are working on a more expressive language that will be more suitable for quantum programming at error-corrected era.
