When quantum computing becomes mainstream, what will be the first standard programming language? I wonder what the 'C' of quantum computers will be
Right now, quantum programs are commonly written in QASM, which essentially expresses operations that are the quantum analogues of classical logic applied to individual qubits. If you want to compose those primitives into higher level structures you just call them from a higher level language like Python or Julia and use the provided means of abstraction. The 'C of quantum computers' as a concept doesn't really make…
