Quantum programming languages are designed to enable developers to write code for quantum computers. Here's a brief overview of some popular quantum programming languages in the context of the ABC Compute Forum.
Q#: Developed by Microsoft, Q# is a high-level programming language that runs on the quantum development kit (QDK). It is designed to be easy to use and understand, with syntax similar to C#.
QASM: Quantum Assembly Language is a low-level, assembly-like language for programming quantum computers. It is used to write instructions for the quantum hardware.
Pulse: Developed by IBM, Pulse is a programming language that allows users to write quantum circuits using a high-level, Python-like syntax.
OpenQASM: Open Quantum Assembly Language is an open-source version of QASM that can be used to program quantum computers from various vendors.
