Description
Quantum computing is a new emerging paradigm allowing the
solution of problems not resolvable with traditional computing
approaches. With hardware resources becoming available, interested
researches have the possibility to experiment with quantum resources at
small scale. Providers like D-Wave (Leap) or AWS (Braket) offer
cloud-like access to their quantum resources. Different types of quantum
hardware is available: annealing systems, trapped-ion quantum computers
(gate-based machines), or computers using superconducting qubits.
Access to these resources is usually available by using some sort of API
or SDK, depending on the provider. For example, D-Wave offers the
Python-based Ocean SDK, while AWS has the Python-based Braket SDK.
Beyond APIs and SDKs offering access to these services, additional
libraries were created in order to support a given scientific domain
over quantum resources. For example PennyLane is a Python library for
differentiable programming of quantum computers.
The presentation gives an overview of the above technologies, and shows
a container-based reference architecture providing playground for
quantum computing. The RA has JupyterLab deployed with a number of
quickstart examples showing the usage and advantage of quantum
computing,, along with all the necessary dependencies deployed. Using
this RA, EOSC users can start experimenting with quantum resource within
minutes.
