This paper proposes a descriptive language called QHDL, akin to VHDL, to program gate-based quantum computing systems. Unlike other popular quantum programming languages, QHDL targets low-level quantum computing programming and aims to provide a common framework for programming FPGAs and gate-based quantum computing systems. The paper presents an initial implementation and design principles of the QHDL framework, including a compiler and quantum computer simulator. We discuss the challenges of low-level integration of streaming models and quantum computing for programming FPGAs and gate-based quantum computing systems.
