Spanish Company Launches a Quantum Development & Application Lifecycle Platform
aQuantum, a research, development, consulting and services spanish group specialized in quantum software engineering and programming of the quantum division of AlhambraIT (Prologue Group) and Grupo Alarcos, presented global launch of Q|Path>TM, the Quantum Development & Aplication Lifecycle Platform for high-quality quantum software.
Q|Path> is an ecosystem that covers the widest range of possible applications by integrating the software classical and quantum worlds, developing quantum software connected to real-world systems. It supports the execution of quantum process units transparently of the environment in which they are executed. “QPath supports large-scale production of quantum software applying sound software engineering principles”, highlights Mario Piattini, aQuantum Science Team Leader.
Q|Path> accelerates the construction and deployment of quantum applications, abstracting their technical complexities. In this way, it supports multidisciplinary teams, allowing them to focus only on the functional knowledge required for the solution. In summary, put the focus on the knowledge and let the details to the platform. Using Q|Path> you visually design your quantum assets (quantum circuits or annealing definitions) and create the complete algorithm using flows. Let the underground details to the system (from model to results, the lifecycle path is totally automatic).
Q|Path> integrates the multiple approaches and proposals of different quantum technology providers (such as those from IBM, Microsoft, Rigetti, D-Wave, Google and other vendors, as well as third-party quantum computing simulators like QuTech, CTIC …etc.), helping to create agnostic quantum software solutions and offering. It is a truly extensible platform; its modular design supports the easily integration of quantum third-party providers. Using Q|Path>´s metalanguages, APIs and integration points, you have access to virtually every feature and behavior of the platform.
“QuantumPath is a great platform that makes possible a path to accelerate the creation of quantum hybrid software solutions with a complete set of coordinated abstractions, tools, extensions, services and APPS, which are open to adopt and integrate whatever quantum technology provider using it’s extensibility feature “, highlights José Luis Hevia, aQuantum Technology Team Leader.
Developing high-quality quantum software is the goal. For this, Q|Path> offers its Platform Apps supporting Software Engineering and Programming best practices adoption. Q|Path> assures the quality of quantum development projects. For it, Q|Path> applies and contributes to putting into practice the fundamental principles of the Talavera Manifesto for Quantum Software Engineering and Programming.
“The official launch of QuantumPath marks an important milestone for aQuantum, not only because this quantum platform is the first in the world designed to manage the development and life cycle of high-quality quantum software applications from the perspective of Quantum Software Engineering and Programming if not, and above all, because its architecture, designed to integrate with other quantum platforms and solutions, and ready by design to integrate classical software with quantum software, will be an accelerator that will contribute to the democratization of access to the quantum computing to both aQNetwork Partners and our customers”, says Guido Peterssen, aQuantum Team Leader
