The standard approach to developing algorithms for quantum computers involves constructing a sequence of unitary gates to manipulate a quantum register. We show an alternative approach that directly uses quantum information stored in memory as instructions and performs a transformation on a register based on the state of the instruction state. This enables programming quantum computers by encoding different instructions as quantum information in the memory. The approach unifies the role of memory in quantum computers as containing both data and software similar to the von Neumann architecture in classical computers. Using this technique, we introduce a protocol capable of arbitrary phase transformations on wavefunctions, allowing for the simulation of large classes of Hamiltonians on quantum computers. The protocol functions by temporarily entangling the instruction and data registers, and it consumes the instruction state during the process.
