<!-- <p>
A quantum computer is just a collection of
<a href="Q-Qubit.html">qubits</a>.
These qubits hold values like
<code>1</code>, <code>0</code>, or some value inbetween.
A quantum computer
is able calculate things
by changing the value of its qubits.
We tell the computer exactly how it should change
the value of a qubit
by instructing it to apply
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_logic_gate" target="_blank">quantum gates</a>
to the qubit
in a particular sequence.
We can think of this as choreographing a dance;
the qubit dances through a sequence of gates
and as it dances through each gate
it will change the style in which it dances.
</p> -->
<p>
Quantum circuits are represented by diagrams similar to
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staff_(music)" target="_blank">musical staves</a>.
When a musician reads a line of music
she begins at moment zero on the left edge
and proceeds forward in time by reading to the right.
In this example we can see
from the ornate figure on the left
that the pitch of the notes will be described by a
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clef" target="_blank">C clef</a>
and that each measure will span three beats
thanks to the 3/4
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_signature" target="_blank">time signature</a> notation.

<p>
Let’s read it from left to right,
observing what happens at each passing moment.
We begin at moment zero (<code>t0</code>) with our initial qubit values.
Both qubit #0 and qubit #1 begin with a value of <span class="complex-vector beta">0</span>.
This is a <a href="Q-Qubit.html#.HORIZONTAL">“horizontal” qubit state</a>.
In normal quantum circuit design these initial values will always be <span class="complex-vector beta">0</span>.
Q, however, allows us to manually change these input values
to any possible qubit state
so that you may simulate a snippet of a complete circuit.
We’ll come back to this later, but for now let’s read on.
</p>
<p>
During our first moment of true operation (<code>t1</code>)
we apply a <a href="Q-Gate.html#.HADAMARD">Hadamard</a> gate to qubit #0,
putting it in to a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_superposition" target="_blank">superposition state</a>.
(This is represented by the “H” within a square on qubit #0’s circuit wire.)
We leave qubit #1 as-is by
applying an
<a href="Q-Gate.html#.IDENTITY">Identity</a> gate; a
<code>null</code> operator or “do nothing” gate.
This is represented by the small circle on qubit #1’s circuit wire.
</p>
<p>
In our next moment (<code>t2</code>) we operate on both qubits at once
by applying a <a href="Q-Gate.html#.CONTROLLED_NOT">Controlled-Not</a> gate.
This operation will flip the value of qubit #1 if, and only if,
the value of qubit #0 collapses to <span class="complex-vector beta">1</span>.
This action
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qubit#Quantum_entanglement" target="_blank">entangles the two qubits</a>;
their states are now dependent on one another.
At this point it is impossible to compute the values of either
qubit #0 or qubit #1 independently.
From here onward the state of the circuit
can only be computed as a whole.
</p>
<p>
In our circuit’s final moment (<code>t3</code>)
we apply a
<a href="Q-Gate.html#.PAULI_X">Pauli X</a> gate
to each qubit,
flipping the value of both.
</p>
<h3 id="Writing_quantum_circuits">Writing quantum circuits</h3>
<p>
To create the above circuit we can take advantage of several Q shortcuts.
To beging with, the <a href="Q.html"><code>Q</code> object</a> itself is a function
that internally passes its arguments to the
<code>Circuit.<a href="Q-Circuit.html#.fromText">fromText()</a></code>
static method.
This function can accept text as an argument,
but also accepts
<a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Template_literals" target="_blank">Template literals</a>,
which use backticks rather than single or double quotes,
and <em>do not require parentheses to invoke a function call.</em>
Note the backticks and lack of parentheses in this example.
We’ll call our example circuit “fox”:
</p>
<pre><code>
var fox = <a href="Q.html">Q</a>`<strong>
H-X#0-X
I-X#1-X</strong>
`
</code></pre>
<p>
Q is rather flexible when it comes to parsing text into circuits.
New lines indicate a new qubit to operate on.
Within a line, any non-alphanumeric character between alphanumerics
is interpreted as a moment seperator.
Therefore, the following (less sensible) input creates a circuit identical to the one above.
</p>
<pre><code>
var fox = <a href="Q.html">Q</a>`<strong>H X#0--X
I X#1 X</strong>`
</code></pre>
<p>
Internally, <code><a href="Q-Circuit.html#.fromText">fromText</a></code>
is making the following calls to create the circuit.
Note the extreme difference between
the very little we must type (above) to create the circuit
and the large amount of construction happening under the hood (below).
</p>
<pre><code>
<span class="comment">// Create a circuit
// that operates on 2 qubits
// and lasts for 3 moments.</span>
var fox = new <a href="Q.html">Q</a>.Circuit( 2, 3 )
<span class="comment">// At moment #1 (the first moment we can operate),
// we’ll use a Hadamard gate
// to set the value of the qubit
// on register #1 in to superposition.</span>
.<a href="#.prototype.set$">set$</a>( <a href="Q.html">Q</a>.<a href="Q-Gate.html">Gate</a>.<a href="Q-Gate.html#.HADAMARD">HADAMARD</a>, 1, 1 )
<span class="comment">// Then at moment #2
// we’ll use a Controlled-Not gate
// to invert the value on register #2
// if the value of register #1 is 1.
// Note this is actually created from a
// Pauli X gate with two inputs!</span>
.<a href="#.prototype.set$">set$</a>( <a href="Q.html">Q</a>.<a href="Q-Gate.html">Gate</a>.<a href="Q-Gate.html#.PAULI_X">PAULI_X</a>, 2, [ 1, 2 ])
<span class="comment">// Finally, at moment #3
// we’ll use a Pauli X gate
// to flip the value of register #1,
// and do the same for register #2.</span>
.<a href="#.prototype.set$">set$</a>( <a href="Q.html">Q</a>.<a href="Q-Gate.html">Gate</a>.<a href="Q-Gate.html#.PAULI_X">PAULI_X</a>, 3, 1 )
.<a href="#.prototype.set$">set$</a>( <a href="Q.html">Q</a>.<a href="Q-Gate.html">Gate</a>.<a href="Q-Gate.html#.PAULI_X">PAULI_X</a>, 3, 2 )
</code></pre>
<p>
I think you’ll agree the shorter <code>Q`…`</code> syntax is preferable.
</p>
<h3 id="Inspecting_quantum_circuits">Inspecting quantum circuits</h3>
<p>
Let’s create that fox circuit again using our compressed Q syntax.
(This illustrates yet another small variation on the whitespace and gate separator used
in the input <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Template_literals">Template literal</a>.)
</p>
<pre><code>
var fox = <a href="Q.html">Q</a>`<strong>
H X#0 X
I X#1 X</strong>
`
</code></pre>
<p>
We can fully inspect our circuit as an object in the JavaScript console, of course.
But we can also get a summary overview with the following command.
</p>
<pre><code>
fox.<a href="#.prototype.toText">toText</a>()
</code></pre>
<p>
This returns the following string.
</p>
<pre><samp>
H-X#0-X
I-X#1-X
</samp></pre>
<p>
Does that look familiar?
It’s very nearly the text we used to construct our circuit in the first place.
In fact, because we can both construct and ouput circuits using text
we can clone and test for equality between circuits like so.
</p>
<pre><code>
var dog = <a href="Q.html">Q</a>( fox.<a href="#.prototype.toText">toText</a>() )
fox === dog<span class="comment">// false.</span>
fox.<a href="#.prototype.toText">toText</a>() === dog.<a href="#.prototype.toText">toText</a>()<span class="comment">// true.</span>
</code></pre>
<p>
Though in practice you’re far more likely to clone a circuit
by using its own method for doing so.
</p>
<pre><code>
var dog = <strong>fox.<a href="#.prototype.clone">clone</a>()</strong>
dog === fox<span class="comment">// false.</span>
fox.<a href="#.prototype.toText">toText</a>() === dog.<a href="#.prototype.toText">toText</a>()<span class="comment">// true.</span>
</code></pre>
<h4 id="ASCII_circuit_diagrams">ASCII circuit diagrams</h4>
<p>
While outputting a circuit as simple text can be useful,
we humans often need a little more visual hand-holding
in order to quickly make sense of things.
With this in mind, Q offers full-on ASCII circuit diagrams.
</p>
<pre><code>
fox.<a href="#.prototype.toDiagram">toDiagram</a>()
</code></pre>
<p>
The above command yields the following,
with time labeled from <code>t0</code> (the moment of input)
progressing onward,
and qubits labeled likewise.

<h4>Interactive circuit diagrams</h4>
<p>
But this is a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_browser" target="_blank">Web browser</a>—we ought to make use of its
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document_Object_Model" target="_blank">document object model</a> for interactivity, no?!
The <code><a href="#.prototype.toDom">toDom</a>()</code> method
returns a document fragment, complete with event handlers,
that can be attached to your live document.
</p>
<div class="coming-soon">
Note that this feature is still in its early stages
and is not yet fully functional.
Check back in May 2020 for updates.
Better yet, <a href="https://github.com/stewdio/q.js" target="_blank">contribute to Q!</a>
</div>
<pre><code>
document.body.appendChild( fox.<a href="#.prototype.toDom">toDom</a>() )
</code></pre>
<p>
This yields the following:
</p>
<div class="fox-dom"></div>
<h3 id="Executing_quantum_circuits">Executing quantum circuits</h3>
<p>
Once a circuit is created it must be evaluated with
<code><a href="#.prototype.evaluate$">evaluate$</a>()</code>.
This resolve’s the circuit’s state <code><a href="#this.matrix">matrix</a></code>
and also notes the state names (binary digits)
and their corresponding propabilities in
the instance’s <code><a href="#this.outcomes">outcomes</a></code> property.
And that’s good.
But what’s even better is seeing those results!
A circuit’s <code><a href="#.prototype.report">report$</a>()</code> method
will internally call
<code><a href="#.prototype.evaluate$">evaluate$</a>()</code> if need be,
then log out the possible outcomes,
including bar graphs of the probabilities.
</p>
<pre><code>
fox.<a href="#.prototype.report">report$</a>()
<samp>

2 |01⟩ ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ 0% chance
3 |10⟩ ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ 0% chance
4 |11⟩ ██████████░░░░░░░░░░ 50% chance
</samp>
</code></pre>
<p>
For fun we can also use
<code><a href="#.prototype.try$">try$</a>()</code>
to randomly pick an outcome based on
the outcome probabilities.
Similar to
<code><a href="#.prototype.report">report$</a>()</code>,
the <code><a href="#.prototype.try$">try$</a>()</code> method
will internally call
<code><a href="#.prototype.evaluate$">evaluate$</a>()</code>
if need be.
</p>
<pre><code>

<h3 id="Overlapping_multi-qubit_gates">Overlapping multi-qubit gates</h3>
<p>
Some physical architectures allow for interactions between qubits that don’t resolve in to the simplest diagrams.
Take this circuit, for example, which contains two C-not gates at moment 2:
</p>
<pre><code>
var cat = <a href="Q.html">Q</a>`<strong>
H X.0#0
I X.1#0
I X.0#1
I X.1#1
X I</strong>
`
</code></pre>
<p>
We can see that they overlap. The first C-not [0] operates on qubit 0 and qubit 2, while the second C-not [1] operates on qubit 1 and qubit 3.
We can see this slightly more clearly as a diagram
with the <code>cat.<a href="#.prototype.toDiagram">toDiagram</a>()</code> command:

<h3 id="Editing_quantum_circuits">Editing quantum circuits</h3>
<h4 id="Copy,_cut,_paste">Copy, cut, paste</h4>
<p>
Let’s start with the <code>cat</code> circuit above,
and copy a section of it.
In this case we’re copying all of its moments
and all of its qubits
so it is effectively equal to
<code>cat.<a href="#.prototype.clone">clone</a>()</code>:
</p>
<pre><code>
var gup = cat.<a href="#.prototype.copy">copy</a>({
qubitFirstIndex: 0,
qubitRange: cat.<a href="#this.bandwidth">bandwidth</a>,
momentFirstIndex: 0,
momentRange: cat.<a href="#this.timewidth">timewidth</a>
})
</code></pre>
<p>
Both <code><a href="#.prototype.copy">copy</a></code>
and <code><a href="#.prototype.cut$">cut$</a></code>
are very flexible with the parameter object.
Supplying no parameters is effectively equal to selecting the entire circuit.
(So the above example is a bit superfluous, but socratic.)
</p>
<p>
Cutting replaces the “cut” operations with Identity gates
and returns the cut portion.
</p>
<pre><code>
var hen = gup.<a href="#.prototype.cut$">cut$</a>()
</code></pre>
<p>
Cutting <em>all</em> of the operations as above
will yield a blank circuit as seen below.
(And <code>hen</code> will now contain those cut operations.)

Pasting in to a circuit can cause that circuit to expand
in both time and qubits.
For example, both our <code>cat</code>
and <code>gup</code> circuits are 4 moments long (0, 1, 2, 3)
and 5 qubits in bandwidth (0, 1, 2, 3, 4).
What if we paste our <code>cat</code> circuit
in to our empty <code>gup</code> circuit
but do so by pushing it one moment further and one qubit further?
</p>
<pre><code>
gup.<a href="#.prototype.paste$">paste$</a>( cat, 1, 1 )
</code></pre>
<p>
Notice how <code>gup</code> has now expanded.
The first qubit registers are still empty.
The first moment of qubits also remains empty.
But the entirety of <code>cat</code>
is now pasted in there.
