Quantum Computer Algebra and Quantum Software

Computer Algebra

In mathematics and computer science, computer algebra, also called symbolic computation or algebraic computation, is a scientific area that refers to the study and development of algorithms and software for manipulating mathematical expressions and other mathematical objects.    Software applications that perform symbolic calculations are called computer algebra systems, with the term system alluding to the complexity of the main applications that include, at least, a method to represent mathematical data in a computer, a user programming language (usually different from the language used for the implementation), a dedicated memory manager, a user interface for the input/output of mathematical expressions, a large set of routines to perform usual operations, like simplification of expressions, differentiation using the chain rule, polynomial factorization, indefinite integration, etc.

Computer algebra is widely used to experiment in mathematics and to design the formulas that are used in numerical programs. It is also used for complete scientific computations, when purely numerical methods fail, as in public key cryptography, or for some non-linear problems.

Quantum Computer Algebra

Quantum Computer Algebra is a new area which has been developed with the progress done in the last decade in quantum computing.  Our group  has mostly people involved in Computer Algebra in the last few decades who are trying to develop quantum algorithms for every known computer algebra algorithm. 

QCA Board Members

QCA is run by its board which decides on where the next QCA will be, its scientific program, and other organizational tasks of runing a successful QCA.  You can see a list QCA Board here.
