Many providers are already shaping their offerings so that new as-a-service paradigms will emerge in the following years.

Oxford Quantum Circuits has already embraced the concept of Quantum Computing as a Service (QCaaS) (https://www.techradar.com/news/quantum-computing-as-a-service-is-going-mainstream), whereas other companies like QCentroid are targeting a wider audience by offering off-the-shelf solutions tailored to industry-specific applications through their Quantum-as-a-Service (QaaS) platform (https://marketplace.qcentroid.xyz/).

When thinking about cloud-accessible resources, one of the most interesting cases is the one posed by the variational quantum algorithm, where a constant interchange between classical and quantum resources must be sorted out. Given the queue times we have seen, we must be aware that any remote training of the ansatz will face important delays per iteration if we attempt to train on an actual device remotely.

Given the existing...
