Until quantum computers become mainstream, high level languages will be what people use? If yes, why? |

Wich is the level languages will be what people use when the quantum computers become mainstream? |

Quantum computers will (a) be for very specialist problems and (b) will require a totally alien and different programming paradigm. |

Quantum computers already exist. In fact I know someone who has been writing code for them for 5 years already. There are two main groups of quantum programming languages: 1) imperative quantum programming languages 2) functional quantum programming languages More info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_programming More material here: https://medium.com/qiskit/how-to-progra ... 2a9329ed02 |

Are these quantum computers just going to be like an FPU carrying out a very specialist role while a conventional processor does most of the normal work in the normal way and with no speed gain except when doing these specific kinds of computation (such as finding the factors of the product of two primes)? Is there, for example, any prospect of them also being used to speed up things like searches, pattern recognition and graphics processing? |
