The aim of this paper is to introduce a general model of quantum computation, the quantum calculus: both unitary transformations and projective measurements are allowed; furthermore a complete classical control, including conditional structures and loops, is available. Complementary to its operational semantics, we introduce a pure denotational semantics for the quantum calculus. Based on proba...

This paper presents the derivation of an operational semantics from a denotational semantics for a subset of the widely used hardware description language Verilog. Our aim is to build equivalence between the operational and denotational semantics. We propose a discrete denotational semantic model for Verilog. A phase semantics is provided for each type of transition in order to derive the opera...
