Composing a quantum score consists of positioning gates on a stave (or circuit) and adding a measurement. The input comes from a classical computer. After the measurement phase, the output goes back to a classical computer. The reason is that quantum computers have no memory and thus cannot store their intermediate states because of their instability.
This section uses Quirk, a very educative quantum circuit simulator, to present quantum gates and a quantum composer.
