Simple Quantum State Encodings for Hybrid Programming of Quantum Simulators

Thomas Gabor, Marian Lingsch Rosenfeld, Claudia Linnhoff-Popien

Abstract: Especially sparse quantum states can be efficiently encoded with simple classical data structures. We show the admissibility of using a classical database to encode quantum states for a few practical examples and argue in favor of further optimizations for quantum simulation targeting simpler, only "semi-quantum" circuits.
