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…
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…
Distributing Quantum Computations, Shot-wise
Giuseppe Bisicchia, Giuseppe Clemente, Jose Garcia-Alonso +4
NISQ (Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum) era constraints, high sensitivity to noise and limited qubit count, impose significant barriers on the usability of QPUs (Quantum Process Un…
From Quantum Mechanics to Quantum Software Engineering: A Historical Review
Giuseppe Bisicchia, Jose Garcia-Alonso, Juan M. Murillo +1
Victor Hugo's timeless observation, "Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come", resonates today as Quantum Computing, once only a dream of a physicist, stands at t…
