A family of quantum von Neumann architecture

Abstract: In this work, we develop universal quantum computing models that form a family of quantum von Neumann architecture, with modular units of memory, control, CPU, internet, besides input and output. This family contains three generations characterized by dynamical quantum resource theory, and it also circumvents no-go theorems on quantum programming and control. Besides universality, such a family satisfies other desirable engineering requirements on system and algorithm designs, such as the modularity and programmability, hence serves as a unique approach to build universal quantum computers.
