1. Quantum Programming Languages By Steve Franchak

2. What are QPL’s? A set of programming languages that use high- level constructs to express quantum algorithms These are not meant to be executed on quantum machines; instead, these are used as tools to further understand quantum computers and quantum algorithms. Usually executed in some simulation

3. Why use QPL’s? High-level – Does not require one to worry about quantum gate arrays, circuit diagrams, etc. – => More efficient means of developing and reasoning out quantum algorithms – Uses classical programming constructs similar to the QPL’s corresponding paradigm – => A means of getting computer scientists involved more in the adoption of quantum computing

4. QPL Paradigms Imperative – QCL (Quantum Computing Language) – Similar to C, PASCAL, etc. Functional – QML – Similar to Common LISP, Haskell Parallel Computing

5. Hybrid Architecture of QCL
