A DSL Proposal for Deployment of Hybrid (Quantum-Classical) Service-Based Applications

Álvaro M. Aparicio-Morales, Javier Troya, José Manuel García-Alonso +3 more

Quantum computing promises to offer significant computational advantages for certain types of problems, which motivates its integration into current software systems. In this context, Service-Oriented Computing provides a suitable mechanism for encapsulating classical and quantum resources through the concept of hybrid quantum-classical services. Although techniques aimed at obtaining optimal deployments for this type of application are beginning to emerge, the literature still highlights the need for methodologies and tools to describe, validate, and homogenize the deployment structures of hybrid applications. To address this gap, this work proposes a MDE-based approach through the definition of a DSL for specifying deployment schemes for hybrid quantum-classical service applications. The proposal enables the description of the available classical and quantum resources, the services that compose the application, and the assignment of quantum services to QPUs, including the mapping between logical and physical qubits. In addition, a model-to-text transformation is provided to generate YAML artifacts that can be interpreted by deployment processes. Finally, the proposed grammar is instantiated on a hybrid search scenario to illustrate its applicability.

Architecting Hybrid Quantum-Classical Software Systems: Exploration of the Design Trade-off Space with Quantitative Guarantees

Álvaro M. Aparicio-Morales, Jose Garcia-Alonso, Javier Cámara +1 more

Addressing problems beyond classical computing limits is sparking an increasing interest in Quantum Computing. However, despite their adequacy to address specific problems, quantum algorithms cover a limited subset of the functionality required in real-world computing systems. Additionally, they require expensive specialized hardware. To overcome this issue, hybrid (quantum-classical) software systems are emerging as a promising way to integrate both computing paradigms by applying the principles of Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA). Still, the design and deployment of hybrid service-based systems faces unique challenges like the idiosyncrasies and constraints of NISQ computers (e.g., algorithms that can only run in specific machines, disparate quality attribute metrics), and the management of structural and behavioural properties of service-based applications. From the SOA perspective, architectural decisions need to be made by performing a trade-off analysis and providing quantitative guarantees of system configurations under prescribed levels of uncertainty. In this paper, a method to explore the design space of quantum-classical applications is provided by a formalization of an architectural style of hybrid applications. The obtained results demonstrate that the proposed method successfully identifies decision boundaries. It enables the dynamic selection of the most suitable hybrid or classical configuration based on the user's QoS criteria.

Minimizing Deployment Cost of Hybrid Applications

Álvaro M. Aparicio-Morales, Juan Luis Herrera, Enrique Moguel +3 more

Within Quantum Software Engineering, the development of hybrid classical-quantum applications is an active research topic. Concretely, there is a focus on the usage of microservices architectures to offer quantum functionalities through classical service gateways. However, while there are methodologies and tools to automatically determine the best deployment for classical applications, this is not the case for hybrid applications, which are especially complicated to deploy due to their specific quantum-requirements. In this paper, we propose Cost Minimizer, a tool to determine the most cost-effective classical and quantum machines to deploy hybrid microservice-based applications. We believe Cost Minimizer will be a step towards achieving a better interaction between classical and quantum computing systems.
