报告摘要:
We initiate the study of parallel quantum programming by defining the execution models of parallel quantum programs with shared variables and establishing a series of proof rules for reasoning about their correctness. In this talk, we will discuss the major challenges in parallel quantum programming that are not present in classical parallel programming: (1) Nondeterminism caused by quantum measurements; (2) Entanglement between different processes; (3) Joint predicates in the overlap of state Hilbert spaces.
