Ask HN: Career in research for programming language for quantum computers?

Hi, there. I'm uchan, daily hackernews reader and just recently joined. Greetings everyone

I'm currently exploring various field to dedicate myself to. After a bit of exploration, I found I'm interested in quantum technologies and also a bit of programming language design. I got a question about designing programming language for quantum computers.

How did one go about making programming language for quantum computers? Do I need to have PhD specializing in programming language design or take the physics path and go to quantum related research?
