On the need for effective tools for debugging quantum programs

Quantum Physics 2024-02-16 v1

Abstract

The ability to incorporate quantum phenomena in computing unlocks a host of new ways to make mistakes. This work surveys existing studies and approaches to debugging quantum programs. It then presents a set of examples that stem from first-hand experience, intended to motivate future research on the subject and the development of novel tools and techniques.
