Abstract:
The objective of this paper is to design a visualization tool that can efficiently describe the execution of complex quantum algorithms. Through prevailing methods, the execution of many classical algorithms can be easily visualized. For example, sorting algorithms utilize histograms to illustrate the sorting operation in a step-by-step manner. However, a similar technique does not exist for quantum algorithms, as current visualization tools apply intricate quantum principles, which are difficult to comprehend. Therefore, we developed a visualization tool that can demonstrate the execution of said algorithms through simpler methods. Our tool was capable of visualizing the execution of popular quantum algorithms, such as Shor’s and Grover’s, despite the complexity of the concepts involved.
