Abstract
En 中文
Termination analysis is an essential part in programming. Especially quantum programming concerning measurement, entanglement and even superposition are the foundations of bizarre behaviours in quantum programs. In this paper, we analyse and extend the theoretical theorems on termination analysis proposed by Ying et al. into computational theorems and algorithms. The new algorithm without the Jordan decomposition process has a significant acceleration with polynomial complexity both on terminating and almost-surely terminating programs. Moreover, the least upper bound of termination programs steps is studied and utilized to output the substituted matrix representation of quantum programs. We also implement four groups of experiments to illustrate the advantages of the new algorithm in case of processing a simplified quantum walk example comparing with the original counterpart.
