#Functional programing will probably become the most popular paradigm of #quantum computing. It's impossible for now to copy a qubit so any algorithms has to be written in a stateless way. At the moment, quantum algorithms are written in a more declarative manner cause we are still figuring out how to do anything with those machine. There is some attempts at creating functional languages for quantum computers but at the moment you can't run them on hardware. I'm talking here about #Quipper, #QML, and #Silq but I'm convinced that this will be the way once we will figure out how to make a quantum computer stable. Quipper is based on #Haskell. I just find it cool.

Silq abstrahiert als höhere Sprache für Quantencomputer von deren physikalischen Eigenheiten. Die Sprache bietet Features, die das Programmieren erleichtern.
