Software Engineering Challenges for Quantum Computing: Report from the First Working Seminar on Quantum Software Engineering (WSQSE 22)

The First Working Seminar on Quantum Software Engineering (WSQSE 2022) took place on December 15 and 16, 2022 in Innsbruck, Austria. An audience of 33 quantum computing and software engineering researchers and practitioners joined the two-day event. The workshop enabled us to foresee short-term and longterms perspectives of Quantum Software Engineering, as well as a set of requirements, issues, and challenges for architecting, programming, and testing Quantum Software Engineering applications. In this report, we provide the summary of the workshop, by reporting on the structure of the event and the main results coming from the sessions and working groups.
