Quantum DevOps - Quantum Application Development

Quantum Computing is emerging as the next big thing promising hyper-scaling of computational resources in all research and productivity domains. However, the Quantum Computing technology has not matured to a level where it can provide a clear advantage over high performance computing yet. Towards achieving this “quantum advantage”, a larger number of Qubits is required, leading inevitably to a more complex topology of the computing Qubits. This raises additional difficulties with decoherence times and implies higher Qubit error rates. Nevertheless, the current Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) computers can prove useful despite the intrinsic uncertainties on the quantum hardware layer. In order to utilize such error-prone computing resources, various concepts are required to address Qubit errors and to deliver successful computations. In this presentation we introduce Quantum DevOps which entails regular checking of the reliability of NISQ Quantum Computing (QC) instances.
