Towards Understanding the Developer Experience in Quantum Software Development

Abstract

In this thematic analysis, we study how quantum software development challenges can be framed in terms of general developer experience and how these connections can enhance our understanding of quantum developer experience. As a result, general developer experience categories, quantum software development challenges, and the connections and parallels between the two are identified. These novel results help to understand quantum developer experience better than before, thus offering guidance to future research and practical implementations.peerReviewe
