From Quantum Mechanics to Quantum Software Engineering: A Historical Review

Giuseppe Bisicchia, José Manuel García-Alonso, Juan M. Murillo +1 more

Victor Hugo's timeless observation, "Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come", resonates today as Quantum Computing, once only a dream of a physicist, stands at the threshold of reality with the potential to revolutionise the world. To comprehend the surge of attention it commands today, one must delve into the motivations that birthed and nurtured Quantum Computing. While the past of Quantum Computing provides insights into the present, the future could unfold through the lens of Quantum Software Engineering. Quantum Software Engineering, guided by its principles and methodologies investigates the most effective ways to interact with Quantum Computers to unlock their true potential and usher in a new era of possibilities. To gain insight into the present landscape and anticipate the trajectory of Quantum Computing and Quantum Software Engineering, this paper embarks on a journey through their evolution and outlines potential directions for future research. By doing so, we aim to equip readers (ideally software engineers and computer scientists not necessarily with quantum expertise) with the insights necessary to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of Quantum Computing and anticipate the trajectories that lie ahead.

A systematic mapping on quantum software development in the context of software engineering

Paulo Eduardo Zanni, Valter Vieira de Camargo

Quantum Computing is a new paradigm that enables several advances which are impossible using classical technology. With the rise of quantum computers, the software is also invited to change so that it can better fit this new computation way. However, although a lot of research is being conducted in the quantum computing field, it is still scarce studies about the differences of the software and software engineering in this new context. Therefore, this article presents a systematic mapping study to present a wide review on the particularities and characteristics of software that are developed for quantum computers. A total of 24 papers were selected using digital libraries with the objective of answering three research questions elaborated in the conduct of this research.

Exploring the Opportunities and Challenges of Quantum Software Design

Duc Dung Le

The increasing maturity of Quantum Computing (QC) and quantum hardware hasbrought Quantum Software Design (QSD) into focus as a distinct research concernwithin Quantum Software Engineering (QSE), yet no prior study has systematicallymapped its approaches, challenges, and opportunities. This thesis addresses thatgap through two complementary research phases: a Systematic Literature Review(SLR) of 32 studies published between 2006 and 2025, and semi-structured inter-views with four domain experts. Both phases confirm that quantum-classical hybrid design is the dominant approach in current QSD research, and that the adaptationof classical tools, particularly Unified Modeling Language (UML) and Model-DrivenEngineering (MDE), is the primary methodological strategy. Hardware-software co-design is identified as a necessary design concern under Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) constraints; two further directions absent from the published liter-ature were identified by practitioners: AI-assisted QSD and self-adaptive quantumsystems. The challenge analysis reveals a potential causal sequence of challenges in the field. Human resources challenges, specifically, the bidirectional knowledge gap between software engineers and quantum computing researchers, emerge exclusively from the interviews and are absent from all 32 reviewed studies. MDE is the most convergent near-term opportunity, and the formalization of human resources and educational pathways represents a new research direction not addressed in the existing literature.
