ABSTRACT
We have proposed a set of instructions for quantum computation purposes, in analogous to the instruction sets used in classical computers. We’ll show that these quantum instructions can be composed to furnish all renowned quantum algorithms, such as Shor’s factoring algorithm, Grover’s search algorithm, and Deutsch-Josza algorithm. Therefore, this set of quantum instructions is useful in composing new algorithms for quantum computation. We’ll also discuss why existing quantum computers cannot yet be regarded as general-purpose computers.
