Chapter 8: Quantum Algorithms I – Deutsch-Jozsa and Bernstein-Vazirani

The Deutsch-Jozsa and Bernstein-Vazirani algorithms are two long-established examples that illustrate that quantum algorithms can be exponentially faster than classical ones in certain kinds of problems. In this chapter, we will use these algorithms to showcase basic features of Silq implementation, such as variable assignment, state superposition, controlled application and measurement, as well as safe uncomputation: one of the key concepts of the Silq language.

In this chapter, we are going to cover the following main topics:

Quantum parallelism and interference
The Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm – classical and quantum solutions along with the Silq implementation
The Bernstein-Vazirani algorithm – classical and quantum solutions along with the Silq implementation

You will learn how to implement two basic algorithms in Silq and this will help you to gain intuition on how...
