Code interoperability extends the scope of quantum simulations

Marco Govoni, Jonathan K. Whitmer, Juan Pablo +2 more

Abstract The functionality of many materials is critically dependent on the integration of dissimilar components and on the interfaces that arise between them. The description of such heterogeneous components requires the development and deployment of first principles methods, coupled to appropriate dynamical descriptions of matter and advanced sampling techniques, in order to capture all the relevant length and time scales of importance to the materials’ performance. It is thus essential to build simple, streamlined computational schemes for the prediction and design of multiple properties of broad classes of materials, by developing interoperable codes which can be efficiently coupled to each other to perform complex tasks. We discuss the use of interoperable codes to simulate the structural and spectroscopic characterization of materials, including chemical reactions for catalysis, the description of defects for quantum information science, and heat and charge transport.

Next-generation EDIpack: A Lanczos-based package for quantum impurity models featuring general broken-symmetry phases, flexible bath topologies and multi-platform interoperability

Lorenzo Crippa, Igor S. Krivenko, Samuele Giuli +10 more

We present a next-generation version of EDIpack, a flexible, high-performance numerical library using Lanczos-based exact diagonalization to solve generic quantum impurity problems, such as those introduced in Dynamical Mean-Field Theory to describe extended strongly correlated materials. This new release efficiently solves impurity problems allowing for different broken-symmetry solutions, including superconductivity, featuring local spin-orbit coupling and/or electron-phonon coupling. It provides quick access to dynamical correlation functions on the entire complex frequency plane at zero and low-temperatures. The modular architecture of the software not only provides Fortran APIs but also includes bindings to C/C++, interfaces with Python and Julia or with TRIQS and w2dynamics research platforms, thus ensuring unprecedented level of inter-operability. The outlook includes further extensions to study quantum materials and cold atoms quantum simulators, as well as quantum information applications.

Rethinking Services in the Quantum Age: The SOQ Paradigm

José Manuel García-Alonso, Enrique Moguel, Jaime Alvarado‐Valiente +11 more

Quantum computing is rapidly progressing from theoretical promise to practical implementation, offering significant computational advantages for tasks in optimization, simulation, cryptography, and machine learning. However, its integration into real-world software systems remains constrained by hardware fragility, platform heterogeneity, and the absence of robust software engineering practices. This article introduces Service-Oriented Quantum (SOQ), a novel paradigm that reimagines quantum software systems through the lens of classical service-oriented computing. Unlike prior approaches such as Quantum Service-Oriented Computing (QSOC), which treat quantum capabilities as auxiliary components within classical systems, SOQ positions quantum services as autonomous, composable, and interoperable entities. We define the foundational principles of SOQ, propose a layered technology stack to support its realization, a reference architecture for defining quantum services based on the good implementation of a classical service, and identify the key research and engineering challenges that must be addressed, including interoperability, hybridity, pricing models, service abstractions, and workforce development. This approach is of vital importance for the advancement of quantum technology because it enables the scalable, modular, and interoperable integration of quantum computing into real-world software systems independently and without relying on a dedicated classical environment to manage quantum processing.
