I had a lot of finals, and the answer to this comment that I did not write was essentially accurate. The people who think about computers this way are the people who have to implement them on analog devices, aka the electrical engineers. There is a discrete analog (lol) in the form of coding theory, since it often more practical to make a slightly noisy discrete space and then perform discrete error correction. I was looking at your other comments to see how I should answer you, and I gathered that I can just link you papers. I imagine Von neumann and Hamming and shannon all have something to…

> your goals (e.g. compilation into realistic gates) are very different from the goals of these language designers (study of abstract structure of quantum algorithms) But the abstract structure of quantum algorithms is all about the carefully orchestrated structure within entanglement, not whether entanglement is present. Also, even just considering whether entanglement is present, the rules that they use in the language are far too weak. They basically amount to "if you do a two qubit operation it might be entangled". How is something like that ever going to help verify, for example, that…
