The hardware implementation of a quantum computation system emulator

The quantum computing represents a new field, which is still being researched, that may have numerous applications in the computer arithmetic, in the encryption - decryption systems, rapid search algorithms and physical systems' emulations. The hardware device that can make this type of calculations is still expensive nowadays and the number of the manufacturers is reduced. On the other hand, the simulation of a quantum computer using the devices currently available on the market - like the FPGA digital circuits - helps in getting an overview of the possibilities that the quantum calculations can provide and it can also be used when simulating physical processes in general. The aim of this article is to present our own solution of an emulator for the quantum calculations using the digital modules implemented in FPGA.
