Fortran and quantum computing

| I'm still fairly new to fortran, but it seems it may be a nice language
for modeling some aspects of quantum computing. Has anyone used fortran
for this type of theoretical computing?

| I have :) I even wrote a short article on the subject a few years ago
for the Fortran Forum. It was based on a quantum searching algorithm.
I can send you a copy of the article. My personal conclusion is that
the array operations in Fortran make it very easy to simulate the
typical steps in quantum computing, that is consider all states at
once.

Arjen

Please! I think I found references to that article after searching on
google but have not been able to find a copy to download.

Superpositon of (base) eigen states? Can you elaborate a little bit?
Kind Regards,
