In this lightning talk, the issue of the low abstraction level supported by quantum programming languages based on quantum gates is addressed. The authors of this proposal have initiated a research line in which quantum registers are considered as data type encoders. From this starting point, the development of quantum oracles implementing operations on these types is proposed. If such oracles are reusable and composable, then programmers will have access to higher-level abstraction operations for conceptualizing and encoding their solutions. The objective of this talk is to introduce this research direction to the audience, outline the results achieved thus far, and depict future work arising from this point.
