Quantum computing is transitioning to cloud services, yet the infrastructure layer remains a "black box" of proprietary software. This poster introduces an open-source framework designed to simplify quantum cloud infrastructure using standard Python practices.
This poster is tailored for Python developers interested in quantum computing but who may feel intimidated by the physics. We demonstrate that building a quantum platform is primarily a software engineering challenge where standard practices apply:
- Web Application Design: Utilizing FastAPI on AWS Lambda to manage asynchronous job lifecycles, making the infrastructure accessible to any web developer.
- Schema-Driven Interfaces: Using OpenAPI and gRPC for consistent code generation and reliable microservice communication.
- Standardized Representation: Adopting OpenQASM 3 as the hardware-agnostic interface, treating quantum circuits as structured data.
- Proven Integration: The framework is already managed on multiple real-world quantum computers and cloud providers.
You do not need a background in quantum mechanics to contribute. By applying idiomatic Python and modern web standards, software developers can build the robust infrastructure required for the next generation of computing.
