Specification and Implementation of Quantum Common Lisp and the Black Stone Quantum Computer simulator, for modelling classical interface gate-model quantum computer programs.
Note: due to an unfortunate naming conflict with Omer's QCL, a quantum programming language based on the syntax of C, we will generally refer to Quantum Common Lisp as (qcλ), or qclambda in the source.

Dump the executable:
$ CC=gcc sbcl --script make.lisp
Install for all users:
$ sudo install -v ./black-stone /usr/local/bin
Or if you have a local executable directory on your path:
$ install -v ./black-stone ~/bin
When running from the terminal, it is recommended to use RLWRAP:
$ rlwrap black-stone
...
#[BLACK-STONE::QCL-USER]> _
This will provide you with an improved line-editing environment over the underlying SBCL REPL.
Tested on Linux x86_64 and OS X 10.7
- SBCL 1.1.14+
- Quicklisp
Available through Quicklisp:
