An Empirical Study on the Current Adoption of Quantum Programming

Published in In 44th International Conference on Software Engineering Companion (ICSE ’22 Companion), 2022

Abstract

Quantum computing is no longer just a scientific curiosity; it is rapidly evolving into a commercially viable technology that has the potential to surpass the limitations of classical computation. As a result of this transition, a new discipline known as quantum software engineering has emerged, which is needed to describe unique methodologies for developing large-scale quantum applications. In the pursue of building this new body of knowledge, we undertake a mining study to elicit the purposes quantum programming is being used for, and steer further research.
