Testing and Debugging Your Quantum Programs

Johnny Hooyberghs

Published Dec 8, 2021• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

Writing your quantum programs should not be a whole lot different from writing your classical programs. To be able to check that your quantum programs are running as intended, you are able to watch their behavior and check their inner workings.

On Testing and Debugging Quantum Software

Andriy V. Miranskyy, Lei Zhang, Javad Doliskani

Quantum computers are becoming more mainstream. As more programmers are starting to look at writing quantum programs, they need to test and debug their code. In this paper, we discuss various use-cases for quantum computers, either standalone or as part of a System of Systems. Based on these use-cases, we discuss some testing and debugging tactics that one can leverage to ensure the quality of the quantum software. We also highlight quantum-computer-specific issues and list novel techniques that are needed to address these issues. The practitioners can readily apply some of these tactics to their process of writing quantum programs, while researchers can learn about opportunities for future work.

On the need for effective tools for debugging quantum programs

Olivia Di Matteo

The ability to incorporate quantum phenomena in computing unlocks a host of new ways to make mistakes. This work surveys existing studies and approaches to debugging quantum programs. It then presents a set of examples that stem from first-hand experience, intended to motivate future research on the subject and the development of novel tools and techniques.
