Abstract

The paper develops a model of quantum computing from the perspective of functional programming. The model explains the fundamental ideas of quantum computing at a level of abstraction that is familiar to functional programmers. The model also illustrates some of the inherent difficulties in interpreting quantum mechanics and highlights the differences between quantum computing and traditional (functional or otherwise) computing models.
