> Do programmers need to understand quantum mechanics to program?  

Well not yet, but it will when we advance in quantum computing and
make use of qubits and entanglements. The Copenhagen interpretation of
quantum mechanics implies that after a while, and unobserved, it makes
no sense to even consider "state"  (Schrödinger's cat) and the
programming paradigms born on top of this computational model
(fundamentally different than our current Von Neuman model) would
spell the death of core constructs we use today such as branching,
iteration etc.
