Abstract
The goal of quantum computing is to harness the unique properties of quantum mechanics to perform computations that are beyond the capabilities of traditional, classical circuits based on transistors. A quantum circuit is an established way of expressing a quantum algorithm. This thesis will describe the development of a workflow for the design and simulation of quantum circuits, as well as the use of this workflow to express and simulate a set of well-known quantum algorithms. This workflow is also used to simulate and analyze a set of well-known quantum error correction schemes.
