Quantum circuits programming

Two recent projects of possible interest:

Cirq: A python library for NISQ circuits

Cirq is a software library for writing, manipulating, and optimizing quantum circuits and then running them against quantum computers and simulators. Cirq attempts to expose the details of hardware, instead of abstracting them away, because, in the Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) regime, these details determine whether or not it is possible to execute a circuit at all.

Blackbird programming language

In this section, we provide an overview of the Blackbird quantum programming language. This simple and elegant language breaks down a quantum circuit into a set of instructions detailing the quantum operations we would like to apply, as well as the the subsystems that these operations act on.

Looks interesting.
