qusoware: Quantum Software on their way

Until now if you wanted to try out any of the algorithms based on quantum computing framework, you would basically need to reconfigure the hardware,  presumably with an expert experimentalist. This however is probably poised to change with the introduction of quantum memory:http://www.technologyreview.in/computing/38495/. This essentially brings the quantum computing devices to the realm of general purpose computing architecture, the thing that is most common in todays processors.
On a lighter note we will might soon have qusoware (my pun for software that runs on a quantum computer), probably something like QComBasic 1.0 from someone like Microsoft ;)
