In this post, we provide the essential information about the top 32 quantum software development kits and quantum-specific programming languages.

This is a long post, so you might find it easier to read on Substack rather than in your email client. Click on the post title above to go to Substack.

For classical coding, popular SDKs include Google Flutter, the Google Android SDK, the Apple iOS SDK with the Swift language, and Microsoft Visual Studio, plus many others.

For each of the quantum SDKs and languages, we provide:

• its name and link to its main web page

• the associated company, organization, or university

• the quantum programming paradigms supported: Analog, Annealing, or Digital

• link to its primary documentation, if available

• open source information, if applicable, including license and repository link

• a one-sentence description courtesy of Perplexity

The remainder of the post is for paid Substack subscribers.
