Toward Standardized Quantum Provenance: A Cross-Provider Analysis, Unified API, and Reference Prototype
Jouni Peltonen, Vlad Stirbu, Tommi Mikkonen +1
Quantum software development requires provenance describing programs, compilation, execution, hardware characterization, results, and software environments, but providers expose th…
Catching Transpilation Drift with a CI/CD Workflow in Quantum Software Development
Jouni Peltonen, Otso Kinanen, Vlad Stirbu
Quantum software workflows rely on compiler and provider toolchains that evolve independently of application source code. Consequently, an unchanged quantum circuit may transpile i…
Observing the Quantum Compiler through Automatic Experiment Tracking for Qiskit
Vlad Stirbu, Arianne Meijer van de Griend
Understanding the effectiveness of quantum compilation techniques requires visibility into the entire transpilation process, not just the final circuit metrics. This demonstration…
Systematic Experiment Tracking in Quantum Software: A Case Study of Reservoir Computing with Error Mitigation
Otso Kinanen, Valter Uotila, Vlad Stirbu
Quantum computers are more widely available than ever, making the field more accessible and widespread. Practitioners are coming from a wide range of domains, conducting experiment…
Navigating the Socio-Technical Complexity Challenge in Quantum Software Ecosystems
Ronja Heikkinen, Santiago Núñez-Corrales, Vlad Stirbu
The paper proposes a socio‑technical framework for evaluating and selecting quantum computing environments, introducing constructs such as gravity wells and socio‑technical desider…
Shift-Up: A Framework for Software Engineering Guardrails in AI-native Software Development -- Initial Findings
Petrus Lipsanen, Liisa Rannikko, François Christophe +3
Generative AI (GenAI) is reshaping software engineering by shifting development from manual coding toward agent-driven implementation. While vibe coding promises rapid prototyping,…
