Chapter 1: Introduction

The challenge [of quantum software engineering] is to rework and extend the whole of classical software engineering into the quantum domain so that programmers can manipulate quantum programs with the same ease and confidence that they manipulate today's classical programs.

– excerpt from the 2004 Report of “UK Grand Challenges in Computing Research” [212]
