Quantum Computing

54 pages in 11 levels

This proposed category develops quantum computing as finite-dimensional mathematics. It begins with complex inner-product spaces, ordered registers, tensor products and finite outcome laws, then defines pure and mixed states, measurements, instruments and completely positive trace-preserving maps. It builds qubit and gate conventions before giving circuits a precise syntax and denotational semantics, with their wire order, classical control, inverse access and ancilla costs made explicit. Reversible computation, exact and approximate gate synthesis, uniform circuit families, promise problems and bounded-error models then establish the interfaces used by quantum algorithms. Separate branches develop Pauli and stabilizer methods, teleportation, classical and quantum error correction, fault-tolerant computation, measurement-based computation, circuit resource limits and state-preparation costs. The scope retains every one of the twenty-four commissioned QC topics while keeping unrelated branches separate in the dependency graph. Existing root linear algebra, finite probability, algebra, Boolean-circuit and computation items are reused by exact ID. Physics postulates, experiments and observations are never logical suppliers: physical motivations may appear only in explicit nonlogical remarks, and no physical-realization claim is needed. This file is a draft overview for a prose-planning proposal; it registers no page or item carrier and makes no proof-acceptance claim.

An exhaustive draft-contract audit supplies explicit finite compiler and simulator instructions, exact resource models and local prerequisite proof routes, including isometry completion and preparation precision. The 358 planned contracts remain unauthored mathematical work; structural consistency and source receipts supply no proof acceptance. Substantial finite-precision synthesis, universal fault-tolerant gadget and inherited root-prerequisite obligations stay visible in the audit evidence before any later build is authorized.
