In the fullness of time the foolishness of certain members of this forum will be proven and despite my obvious problems at communication, it will be clear that prior to 2007 I was already WAY ahead of the pack.

What I have invented is pure genius, and I am not surprised it is going so far over your collective heads that you feel the best way to deal with it is to moan about my approach and to click the -- button. It is after all the typical behaviour of the unenlightened to hate and fear that which they do not understand.

Much as I loathe the concept of justifying myself to my intellectual inferiors, I have little choice if I want my work to be known about, and for Perl to be the first language to implement it. Believe me, it is not your wonderful attitude and open mindedness that drives me to explain, if it was not for the fact that I see Perl as the best platform for what I have in mind I would not be bothering with this forum at all.

So anyway, you want some proof that you should pay attention to what I am telling you? You need evidence that your legacy ideas and methods are becoming obsolete alongside COBOL?

Fine.

This Master thesis examines issues of interoperability and integration between the Classic Information Science (CIS) and Quantum Information Science (QIS). It provides a short introduction to the Extensible Markup Language (XML) and proceeds to describe the development steps that have lead to a prototype XML specification for quantum computing (QIS-XML). QIS-XML is a proposed framework, based on the widely used standard (XML) to describe, visualize, exchange and process quantum gates and quantum circuits. It also provides a potential approach to a generic programming language for quantum computers through the concept of XML driven compilers. Examples are provided for the description of commonly used quantum gates and circuits, accompanied with tools to visualize them in standard web browsers. An algorithmic example is also presented, performing a simple addition operation with quantum circuits and running the program on a quantum computer simulator. Overall, this initial effort demonstrates how XML technologies could be at the core of the architecture for describing and programming quantum computers. By leveraging a widely accepted standard, QIS-XML also builds a bridge between classic and quantum IT, which could foster the acceptance of QIS by the ICT community and facilitate the understanding of quantum technology by IT experts. This would support the consolidation of Classic Information Science and Quantum Information Science into a Complete Information Science, a challenge that could be referred to as the "Information Science Grand Unification Challenge".

Oh my, that puts the shoe on the other foot does it not? Did you notice the bit I highlighted? Here it is again : XML driven compilers.

Now why oh why would we want to do that? And why oh why did I choose, in my infinite ignorance, to make process priority explicit through the none-standard tag delimiters? I guess 99% of you are too stuck in your CLASSICAL thinking to even comprehend the level of genius you are dealing with here.

Beyond most of your little devoted monk minds I think. Hehe.

Oh maybe one or two of you are starting to get it, and why I keep putting myself through the mill of dealing with this ignorant herd, for you I suggest you go and read this:

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
