In reality, programming quantum computers is still complicated by the changing hardware. Think about it, if your goal is to do something cool with 1 or 2 bits, it doesn't make sense to build a grand architecture which will let you factor 2^25-1. In fact, when I see grad students / postdocs / professors talking about this, it's a big warning sign.

If you're interested in what could be done in the field, I would start by taking a look at QuTIP (https://code.google.com/p/qutip/), learning LabVIEW (It's effective, useful, and everywhere), or maybe becoming a topnotch Verilog coder. FPGA's are the future of QC.
