A tutor on the Quantum Computing Language

The Quantum Computing Language is a programming language designed to approach quantum computing programming, using the syntax of a procedural language like "C". Quantum Computing is still seen as being in the domain of Theoretical Physics, rather than Computer Science, due to the abundance of different notation/formalisms. The Quantum Computing Language attempts to unify the Quantum Computing concepts into a single coherent language. The Quantum Computing Language provides a base-set of operators, yet is able to simulate every known quantum algorithm that can be run on a Quantum Computer. The QCL was written by Bernhard Ömer from the Technical University of Vienna, and is released under the GPL(General Public License). It runs under a variety of UNIX platforms.
