Abstract

Abstract:

Software and hardware of quantum computer are still immature, which can hardly meet the requirements of local deployment for individual users due to strict environment requirements and high operation and maintenance costs. The cloud platform has become an ideal test bed for quantum computing science popularization, algorithm development, and application innovation. Based on the current development status and service mode classification of typical quantum computing cloud platforms, a universal functional architecture model is proposed. The analysis on the prospects of quantum computing platforms is conducted, and suggestions for future development to overcome main challenges are also discussed.

Key words: quantum computing, cloud platform, functional architecture
