Conventions for Quantum Pseudocode. Knill, E. Technical Report LA-UR-96-2724, Los Alamos National Laboratory, June, 1996. doi abstract bibtex A few conventions for thinking about and writing quantum pseudocode are proposed. The conventions can be used for presenting any quantum algorithm down to the lowest level and are consistent with a quantum random access machine (QRAM) model for quantum computing. In principle a formal version of quantum pseudocode could be used in a future extension of a conventional language.
