This book is an analysis of quantum computing, covering everything from its foundational principles to practical applications in the development of quantum services. It offers a technical and complex overview to provide the necessary knowledge to any researcher, scientist or developer who wants to get into service-oriented quantum computing. The field of quantum computing has evolved rapidly in recent years, with the potential to revolutionize the way we approach complex problems in various fields. This comprehensive guide covers the fundamental principles of quantum computing and its practical applications in the development of quantum services. Beyond theoretical knowledge, the book goes on to explore some of the challenges that quantum software developers face in today’s landscape. It addresses issues related to low-level abstractions and the absence of integration, deployment and quality assurance mechanisms in quantum software engineering. Also, it explores the principles of service-oriented computing applied to quantum computing, revealing architectural patterns adapted to quantum computing and discussing standardization and accessibility in this field. It also provides insight into streamlining the deployment process through a DevOps approach for continuous deployment of quantum services.

Presently, quantum programming languages predominantly operate at the quantum circuit level, bearing a description reminiscent of the wiring configurations required by the ENIAC for program execution. One of the most significant advances in the evolution of modern programming languages was the inception of structured programming, which gave rise to fundamental computational constructs: sequence, branching, and iteration. This innovation ushered in a plethora of programming paradigms prevalent in classical computing today.

Analogous to the realm of abstractions, contemplation arises regarding the requisite foundational structures and design motives in the realm of quantum program development. To undertake this endeavor, one must acknowledge the profound divergence between the nature of quantum computing and Von Neumann’s architecture model.

The API gateway pattern, traditionally employed for microservices composition in applications, functions as an entry point to the system, directing requests to various microservice routes. It can apply filters to incoming requests, aggregate results, and implement specific logic. In a notable adaptation the API gateway is enhanced with Machine Learning capabilities, enabling it to recommend the most suitable quantum machine based on user-indicated parameters within the request. Essentially, this adaptation optimizes the deployment strategy of a quantum service dynamically. For this proposal, the quantum API gateway is implemented in Python, utilizing the Flask library for defining the API with distinct endpoints.

This book will serve as a guide for all researchers, scientists and developers by providing them with an understanding of the current limitations and problems in quantum computing-oriented software development, and how to address them with software engineering techniques and tools applied to quantum computing. This Rapids book is an analysis of quantum computing, covering everything from its foundational principles to practical applications in the development of quantum services.
