Multi Language Random Number Generation #41

Closed JessiMai closed 4 years ago

JessiMai commented 4 years ago

Abstract

Integration of Qiskit random number generation into other languages and softwares, such as MATLAB, and C. This would make it easier for non quantum researchers to switch from pseudo random generators. This could be useful for researchers who have a lot of legacy code which would mean the time and effort of switching over to python would outweigh the benefits of improved simulations.

Description

An add on quantum random number generator package could improve simulations and imaging techniques based on random numbers for areas such as medical imaging, radiation detector design, radiation protection equipment, and cosmic radiation imaging. In these areas the pseudo random number generation is adequate meaning there's little benefit to invest in quantum techniques. However, if easy integrable into whatever the computational language already being used by these groups, we could bring quantum computing to a larger audience and widen the quantum technologies community.
