This paper introduces a simplified quantum Petri net (QPN) model and uses this model to generalize classical SISO, SIMO, MISO, MIMO and priority buffers to their quantum counterparts. It provides a primitive storage element, namely a quantum S-R flip-flop design using quantum CNOT and SWAP gates that can be replicated to obtain a quantum register for any given number of qubits. The aforementioned quantum buffers are then obtained using the simplified QPN model and quantum registers. The quantum S-R flip-flop and quantum buffer designs have been tested using OpenQASM and Qiskit on IBM quantum computers and simulators and the results validate the presented quantum S-R flip-flop and buffer designs.
