Abstract
This disclosure concerns tools and techniques for debugging a quantum program (e.g., a program used to configure and control a quantum computing device). Because the state space of a quantum program is so much larger and less structured than the state space for a classical program, new techniques are required to help the program developer and coder determine whether or not their program is working correctly and to identify errors if not. The disclosed technology provides tools and techniques for debugging quantum programs using a classical computer.
