Abstract
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 and describes two different such flip-flop designs using quantum NOT, CNOT, CCNOT, and SWAP gates. Each of the quantum S-R flip-flops 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 2.0 and Qiskit programs on IBM quantum computers and simulators and the results validate their expected operations.
