- Abstract: As quantum computers evolve, so does the complexity of the software that they can run. To make this software efficient, maintainable, reusable, and cost-effective, quality attributes that any industry-grade software should strive for, mature software engineering approaches should be applied during its design, development, and operation. Due to the significant differences between classical and quantum software, applying classical software engineering solutions to quantum software is difficult. This resulted in the birth of Quantum Software Engineering as a discipline in the contemporary software engineering landscape. In this work, a set of active researchers is currently addressing the challenges of Quantum Software Engineering and analyzing the most recent research advances in this domain. This analysis is used to identify needed breakthroughs and future research directions for Quantum Software Engineering.
