Abstract
This work introduces MCBeth, a quantum programming language that bridges the gap between near-term and non-near-term languages. MCBeth allows users to directly program and simulate measurement-based computation by building upon the measurement calculus. While MCBeth programs are meant to be executed directly on hardware, to take advantage of current machines we also provide a compiler to gate-based instruction sets. We argue that MCBeth is more natural to use than common low-level languages, which are based upon the quantum circuit model, but still easily runnable in practice.
