Quantum programming languages

Abstract

After giving a bird’s view of some existing quantum programming languages, this paper reports the recent results made by the quantum computation group of the State Key Laboratory for Novel Software Technology and the Department of Computer Science and Technology at Nanjing University, i.e., the quantum programming languages NDQJava, NDQFP and their processing systems.
