Interpretations of quantum computing (QC) follow interpretations of quantum mechanics (QM) itself. Here's two: 1. *An introduction to many worlds in quantum computation* - https://arxiv.org/pdf/0802.2504.pdf 2. *The sum-over-histories formulation of quantum computing* - https://arxiv.org/pdf/quant-ph/0607151.pdf If one is familiar with these two interpretations in QM, one can at least follow how they would work in a semantics for QC. As far as I know it's a matter of personal preference which one you might like (but I wouldn't choose door #1!). - pt -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
