A brief survey of quantum programming languages

Peter Selinger. A brief survey of quantum programming languages.
In Proceedings of the 7th International Symposium on Functional and Logic Programming, Nara, Japan. Springer LNCS 2998, pp. 1-6, 2004.

A brief but useful survey of quantum programming languages (six pages), that I think wasn't mentioned here before.

Section 2.1 describes the common target hardware models (the quantum circuit model, QRAM, and quantum Turing Machines).

Section 2.2 is about imperative quantum languages (e.g., QCL), and section 2.3 discusses functional quantum languages.
