Robert S. Sutor has been a technical leader and executive in the IT industry for over 40 years. More than two decades of that were spent in IBM Research in Yorktown Heights, New York USA. During his time there, he worked on and led efforts in symbolic mathematical computation, mathematical programming languages, optimization, AI, blockchain, and quantum computing. He is the author of Dancing with Qubits: How quantum computing works and how it can change the world and Dancing with Python: Learn Python software development from scratch and get started with quantum computing, also with Packt. He is the published co-author of several research papers and the book Axiom: The Scientific Computation System with the late Richard D. Jenks. Sutor was an IBM executive on the software side of the business in areas including Java web application servers, emerging industry standards, software on Linux, mobile, and open source. He was the Vice President of Corporate Development and, later, Chief Quantum Advocate, at Infleqtion, a quantum computing and quantum sensing company based in Boulder, Colorado USA. He is currently an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University at Buffalo, New York, USA. He is a theoretical mathematician by training, has a Ph.D. from Princeton University, and an undergraduate degree from Harvard College. He started coding when he was 15 and has used most of the programming languages that have come along.

14.4 Software

If a quantum computer is to be programmable, it must have software, as discussed in section 11.7. More than that, your chosen system must have a complete software stack of runtime facilities and development tools, as shown in the upper portion of Figure 14.1. software stack

Note: this is the same stack shown in Figure 11.23.

Figure 14.1: A quantum software and hardware stack
  • Do you prefer working with new, semi-proprietary languages for quantum computing, or would you reuse existing skills in popular languages such as Python instead?
  • Does your staff already have software engineering skills in Python?
  • Have you surveyed the current development platforms for quantum computing? Does your staff have expertise in Cirq or Qiskit? Cirq Qiskit
  • Have you assessed the breadth of functionality and algorithms implemented in the stack’s Quantum Software Libraries and Algorithms...
