Quantum Programming of Cellular Automata

Abstract

As quantum computers gain attention and accessibility, new possibilities are emerging, making cellular automata an interesting topic of exploration. Large cellular automata are computationally demanding, therefore, the use of quantum computers could enable better management of large cellular automata. However, quantum programming differs significantly from classical programming, creating hurdles for traditional computer scientists to start quantum coding. This thesis analysed a quantum implemented cellular automaton to explore potential improvements and challenges.
