Quantum Measurements and Circuits
摘要
This chapter covers quantum measurement theory, introducing measurement operators and the quantum circuit model. Measurement operators are presented as projection operators along with renormalization according to the Born rule with outputs being bitstrings measured in the computational basis. Quantum circuits are presented with an explanation of the sequence of operations and endianness of indexing. Finally, the principle of deferred measurement is presented as a transformation of hybrid classical-quantum circuits into equivalent quantum circuits.
