Built-ins

Bloch ships a minimal set of built-ins in v1.0.0 RC.

Console​

  • echo(expr) -> void — prints a human-friendly representation of expr to stdout. Strings are concatenated with +.

Quick tip: use --echo=all when running multi-shot to see per-shot output.

Quantum gates​

These are treated like functions and validated by the semantic analyser. All return void.

  • h(qubit)
  • x(qubit)
  • y(qubit)
  • z(qubit)
  • rx(qubit, float)
  • ry(qubit, float)
  • rz(qubit, float)
  • cx(qubit, qubit)

See also: Semantic Rules for signature checking.

Measurement/Reset​

  • measure q — expression form, returns bit.
  • measure q; — statement form.
  • reset q; — statement; sets q to |0>.
