Abstract
Motivated by Feynman's 1983 paper on the simulation of physics by computers, we present a general approach to the description of quantum experiments which uses quantum bit registers to represent the spatio-temporal changes occurring in apparatus-systems during the course of such experiments. To illustrate our ideas, we discuss the Stern-Gerlach experiment, Wollaston prisms, beam splitters, Mach-Zender interferometers, von Neumann (PVM) tests, the more general POVM formalism, and a variety of modern quantum experiments, such as two-particle interferometry and the EPR scenario.
