It’s Not the Gates, It’s What You Do With Them: An Algorithms perspective on the QuOp
Looking at QuOps from the point of view of algorithm design. Instead of asking what the hardware is doing, we ask what the hardware can let us do. Seen this way, a QuOp is a practical building block: something that supports useful subroutines. This talk looks at how that shift in perspective helps us compare different implementations, reason about speed and scalability, and design quantum algorithms around capability rather than machinery.
