Keywords

Keywords constitute identifiers reserved by the language parser. As such, they have a specific predefined meaning and cannot be overwritten or used as a general identifier, e.g., as the name of the (qu)bit register.

The table below lists the reserved keywords in cQASM:

Keyword	Use
version	Version statement
qubit	Qubit type
bit	Bit type
