What is QASM?
Introduction to Quantum Computing
QASM refers to Quantum Assembly Language or QASM. QASM is a simple text-format language that has elements of both the C and assembly languages which will be used for describing or specifying quantum circuits to be used as input into programming a quantum computer by building universal set of quantum gates.
In the QASM program, classical bits and qubits are declared which will describes the operations or gates working on the qubits and the measurements required to obtain the classical results.
