Leveraging API Specifications for Scaffolding Quantum Applications

Quantum computing is still in its early stages, and developers used to high-level tools are encountering difficulties in developing hybrid classical-quantum systems. This has created the need for the adaptation of classical tools or the development of new tools to approach the quantum world and enable more efficient development. Quantum computers are accessed through cloud providers, which has led to the use of Service-Oriented Architectures. Although there are currently tools and standards available for improving the development of classical services, they need to be adapted for quantum services. In this work, we propose the adaptation of classic tools to be used in the development of hybrid systems, extending classic specifications such as OpenAPI and AsyncAPI to offer developers a set of tools closer to the environment they are used to. The provided implementation is focused on Amazon Braket as the quantum computing service provider.
