Abstract

Since Deutsch (1985), quantum computers have been modeled exclusively in the language of state vectors and the Schroedinger equation. We present a complementary view of quantum circuits inspired by the path integral formalism of quantum mechanics, and examine its application to some simple textbook problems.
