Coincidentally I just saw an announcement for a quantum computation
language. See <http://tph.tuwien.ac.at/~oemer/qc/>. From the README:
Despite many common concepts with classical computer science,
quantum computing is still widely considered as a special
discipline within the broad field of theoretical physics. One
reason for the slow adoption of QC by the computer science
community is the confusing variety of formalisms (Dirac notation,
matrices, gates, operators, etc.), none of which has any
similarity with classical programming languages, as well as
the rather ``physical'' terminology in most of the available
literature.
QCL (Quantum Computation Language) tries to fill this gap: QCL
is a hight level, architecture independent programming language
for quantum computers, with a syntax derived from classical
procedural languages like C or Pascal. This allows for the
complete implementation and simulation of quantum algorithms
(including classical components) in one consistent formalism.
