Re:Why now is the best time to study quantum computing (2014) by ufo on Sunday May 01, 2016 @04:11PM (#11607664)
I'm not an expert on quantum programmig but the impression I kind of got is that you don't just go around writing quantum programs like you would for a classical computers. Instead, you have very particular problems where very particular quantum algorithms are more efficient than the classical ones.

If I had to bet I would guess that quantum programming is going to be more like "linear programming", where instead of programming the algorithm instructions you program by preparing the inputs that you will pass to the specialized subsystem.
