Abstract
In this chapter we will discuss the development of a quantum software modeling language. We begin by discussing the need for a quantum-specific modelling language, and why existing 'classical' modeling languages may not be properly suited for the task of modeling quantum software. We then proceed with a discussion of the fundamental principles, or axioms, that any such modeling language should adhere to. We then present ‘Q-UML’ a quantum software modeling language based on the popular Unified modeling Language (UML). We conclude with some examples of Q-UML that showcase the expressive power of the language, as well as the importance of the aforementioned principles.
