With the advance in quantum computing, quantum software becomes critical forexploring the full potential of quantum computing systems. Recently, quantumsoftware engineering (QSE) becomes an emerging area attracting more and moreattention. However, it is not clear what are the challenges and opportunitiesof quantum computing facing the software engineering community. This work aimsto understand the QSE-related challenges perceived by developers. We perform anempirical study on Stack Exchange forums where developers post-QSE-relatedquestions & answers and Github issue reports where developers raise QSE-relatedissues in practical quantum computing projects. Based on an existing taxonomyof question types on Stack Overflow, we first perform a qualitative analysis ofthe types of QSE-related questions asked on Stack Exchange forums. We then useautomated topic modeling to uncover the topics in QSE-related Stack Exchangeposts and GitHub issue reports. Our study highlights some particularlychallenging areas of QSE that are different from that of traditional softwareengineering, such as explaining the theory behind quantum computing code,interpreting quantum program outputs, and bridging the knowledge gap betweenquantum computing and classical computing, as well as their associatedopportunities.
