StableShots: Online Shot Stopping for Quantum Circuit Execution
Giuseppe Bisicchia, Alessandro Bocci, Ernesto Pimentel +1
Quantum circuit execution estimates output distributions by repeated measurements, yet developers commonly choose a fixed shot budget before execution. This static choice is brittl…
How Many Shots Are Enough for a Quantum Circuit?
Giuseppe Bisicchia, Alessandro Bocci, Ernesto Pimentel +1
Quantum algorithms require repeated circuit executions, known as shots, to estimate output distributions accurately. Determining the minimal number of shots needed to meet a target…
A Neurosymbolic Prolog Skill for LLM-Driven Service Placement
Jacopo Massa, Giuseppe Bisicchia, Patrizio Dazzi +1
Service placement in the cloud-edge continuum requires assigning application components to heterogeneous resources under multiple constraints, including latency, locality, and poli…
Evaluating Security Properties in the Execution of Quantum Circuits
Paolo Bernardi, Antonio Brogi, Gian-Luigi Ferrari +1
Quantum computing is a disruptive technology that is expected to offer significant advantages in many critical fields (e.g. drug discovery and cryptography). The security of inform…
Failure-Resilient and Carbon-Efficient Deployment of Microservices over the Cloud-Edge Continuum
Francisco Ponce, Simone Gazza, Andrea D'Iapico +9
Deploying microservice-based applications (MSAs) on heterogeneous and dynamic Cloud-Edge infrastructures requires balancing conflicting objectives, such as failure resilience, perf…
Rethinking Services in the Quantum Age: The SOQ Paradigm
Jose Garcia-Alonso, Enrique Moguel, Jaime Alvarado-Valiente +11
Quantum computing is rapidly progressing from theoretical promise to practical implementation, offering significant computational advantages for tasks in optimization, simulation,…
