Hybrid Quantum Applications Need Two Orchestrations in Superposition: A Software Architecture Perspective

preprint2021arXivOpen access

Abstract

Quantum applications are most often hybrid, i.e. they are not only made of implementations of pure quantum algorithms but also of classical programs as well as workflows and topologies as key artifacts, and data they process. Since workflows and topologies are referred to as orchestrations in modern terminology (but with very different meaning), two orchestrations that go hand-in-hand are required to realize quantum applications. We motivate this by means of a non-trivial example, sketch these orchestration technologies and reveal the overall structure of nontrivial quantum applications as well as the implied architecture of a runtime environment for such applications.
