Abstract

This tutorial provides an introduction to quantum computing and to the use of evolutionary computation for automatic quantum computer programming. No prior experience with quantum mechanics or with evolutionary computation will be assumed. While the primary focus of the tutorial will be on general concepts, specific results will also be presented, including human-competitive results produced by genetic programming. Follow-up material is available from the presenter's book, Automatic Quantum Computer Programming: A Genetic Programming Approach, published by Springer and Kluwer Academic Publishers.
