Extended Quantum Computing Patterns
Intent
Provide a reusable operation for constructing or manipulating a quantum circuit without implementing a complete algorithm.
Context
A larger quantum component repeatedly needs a structural operation such as permuting qubits, broadcasting a gate, or constructing a controlled operation.
Forces
The utility has little algorithmic meaning on its own, but its implementation can affect circuit size, depth, readability, and hardware compatibility.
Solution
Package the recurring circuit-construction operation as a named, reusable component with a clear interface.
Result
Higher-level algorithms can reuse the operation without rebuilding its gate-level implementation.
Examples
Qubit permutations, gate broadcasting, multi-controlled operations, and applying one operation to several wires.
