This is a great question! I've worked a lot on this topic and its crucial to understanding how quantum computers will be used in the near term.

While I don't have an easy answer for the high level interface, the assembly level interface between quantum and classical computing is also important. If you're interested in that then you should check out this paper where we describe Quil, an instruction set architecture for hybrid quantum/classical computing based on shared memory: https://arxiv.org/abs/1608.03355

This instruction set is the basis for Rigetti Computing's Forest quantum programming environment: https://www.rigetti.com/forest

Thanks for these links--these are interesting and probably come closest to addressing my questions of anything I've seen so far.
