Quality Attributes on Quantum Computing Platforms

Understand

As the practical Quantum Computing Platforms (QCPs) rapidly become a reality, it is desirable to harness their true potential in software applications.

• Thus it becomes important to determine the implications of QCPs for software architecture.
• In this paper we present the in-depth examination of state-of-the-art QCPs for identifying all such characteristics of a QCP that are relevant from software architecture perspective.
• Lack of a native quantum operating system, a hard dependency on quantum algorithms, the lower level of programming abstractions are few, out of many, examples of QCP characteristics which may affect architecture of quantum software applications.
