RIGOLETTO: A Workflow Definition Language for Hybrid Quantum-Classical Scientific Applications

Vincenzo De Maio, Dominik Bork, Ivona Brandić

Scientific workflows constitute a pivotal resource for the scientific computing community, as they provide a standard interface to define, execute, and analyze the results of scientific computations. The advent of the Post-Moore era exposes the scientific computing research community with the challenge of scaling HPC facilities, to address the demands of modern scientific applications. While quantum computing, on the one hand, promises noteworthy theoretical speedups for different scientific applications, executing a whole scientific workflow on quantum hardware is infeasible since not all computations can achieve a speedup on quantum hardware. As a consequence, computational scientists defined the concept of a hybrid quantum-classical workflow, which is capable of exploiting the capabilities of quantum and classical hardware. Since the adaptation of classical scientific workflows to the new hybrid quantum-classical scenario can be challenging for scientists, we propose RIGOLETTO, a workflow definition language allowing scientists to define where to execute each task on a hybrid quantum-classical system. As a proof-of-concept, we report on two scientific workflows and identify open challenges in the definition of hybrid quantum-classical workflows.

GalaxyQ: A Platform for Reproducible and Provenance-Driven Hybrid Quantum-Classical Scientific Workflows

Bryan A. Raubenolt, Daniel J Blankenberg

Quantum computing has the potential to reshape scientific research in areas like materials science, chemistry, biology, and more. But many researchers still face hurdles, especially when trying to integrate quantum tools into existing analysis pipelines. In this paper, we explore how the Galaxy Project, a platform known for enabling reproducible computational research, can be extended to support hybrid quantum-classical workflows. By combining Galaxy's user-friendly, provenance-aware environment with quantum programming tools, we offer scientists a practical way to build and share workflows that include both quantum and classical components. This GalaxyQ approach lowers the entry barrier for quantum computing and promotes transparency, collaboration, and reproducibility in scientific computing.

Dataflows and Computational Patterns for Hybrid Quantum-Classical Scientific Computing

Ryan Landfield, Jordan J. Winetrout, Michael A. Sandoval

Hybrid quantum-classical computing has emerged as the dominant paradigm for near-term quantum applications, yet hybrid workflows are typically described by individual algorithms rather than their underlying execution behavior. We introduce the Quantum Execution Locality Framework (QELF), a qualitative framework for characterizing hybrid quantum-classical workflows according to recurring dataflow structures and quantum execution locality, the extent to which computation remains resident on the Quantum Processing Unit (QPU) before host intervention or classical synchronization. From a representative cross-section of applications, QELF identifies five recurring computational patterns with distinct locality characteristics and discusses their implications for communication overhead, workflow organization, and future hybrid computing architectures. By providing a common vocabulary for reasoning about hybrid workloads, QELF establishes a foundation for future quantitative validation and the co-design of algorithms, runtime systems, and hybrid computing architectures.
