The QNET package is a set of tools created and compiled to aid
|
|
in the design and analysis of photonic circuit models.
|
|
Our proposed Quantum Hardware Description Language (cf. QHDL_)
|
|
serves to describe a circuit topology and specification of a larger
|
|
entity in terms of parametrizable subcomponents.
|
|
This is strongly analogous to the specification of electric circuitry
|
|
using the structural description elements of VHDL or Verilog.
|
|
The physical systems that can be modeled within the framework include
|
|
quantum optical experiments that can be described as nodes with internal
|
|
degrees of freedom such as interacting quantum harmonic oscillators
|
|
and/or N-level quantum systems that,
|
|
in turn are coupled to a finite number of external bosonic quantum fields.
