Abstract

This paper introduces ONDA, a quantum programming language designed to significantly simplify quantum programming by providing multiple abstraction layers similar to those found in classical computing. Unlike traditional quantum programming languages, which primarily focus on circuit construction, ONDA compiles into quantum instructions executed autonomously by specialized quantum hardware, eliminating the need for classical assistance. The proposed architecture uniquely supports sequential execution, branching, and the direct implementation of classical control structures such as conditional statements and loops (e.g., if, do-while) entirely within the quantum domain. By leveraging a quantum microarchitecture that autonomously processes compiled instructions, ONDA facilitates the intuitive implementation of high-level quantum algorithms, reducing complexity and broadening access to quantum programming to promote wider adoption and accelerate advancements in quantum computing.
