Exploring Abstraction Levels in Quantum Software Development
Transitioning from CPU to GPU in computing has taught us the importance of different abstraction levels in software development. In the classical world, developers can work directly with hardware at a low level or choose higher levels of abstraction like machine learning libraries. Similarly, in quantum software development, there are layers of abstraction where developers can work with hardware-specific code or higher-level quantum assembly code that can be compiled for specific systems. The goal is to provide flexibility for developers to choose their preferred level of abstraction based on their expertise and domain, ensuring they can focus on contributing effectively without needing to worry about the lower levels of abstraction.
