    "abstract": "The rapid progress of computer technology has been accompanied by a\ncorresponding evolution of software development, from hardwired components and\nbinary machine code to high level programming languages, which allowed to\nmaster the increasing hardware complexity and fully exploit its potential.\n  This paper investigates, how classical concepts like hardware abstraction,\nhierarchical programs, data types, memory management, flow of control and\nstructured programming can be used in quantum computing. The experimental\nlanguage QCL will be introduced as an example, how elements like irreversible\nfunctions, local variables and conditional branching, which have no direct\nquantum counterparts, can be implemented, and how non-classical features like\nthe reversibility of unitary transformation or the non-observability of quantum\nstates can be accounted for within the framework of a procedural programming\nlanguage.",
