Abstract:

This dissertation is a demonstration of tuQ, a classical GUI-based toolchain for modelling, optimising and compiling an algorithm as an expression of the cluster-state model. The cluster-state model and its equivalent graph-state are explored as an alternative to the widespread circuit model of quantum computing. The tuQ toolchain consists of two main modules, Modeller and Simulator as well as functions that integrate the modules. Modeller was created as a sandpit environment, in which its user can experiment with a graph state through measurement functions that are consistent with the stabiliser formalism. Simulator was created for expressing an algorithm in graph-state syntax; and for reading a circuit and converting it to a graph state. The user can combine Modeller with Simulator in iterative workflow to express and test an algorithm before transpiling it to the quantum assembly language, OpenQASM. The tuQ toolchain is comparable in scope and power with the many (classical) circuit modelling tools that are currently available.
