Abstract

The development of quantum computing is following a substantial growth. This leads us closer to the implementation of practical solutions based on quantum software that address problems that are not computable by classical software in a practical timeframe. Hence, some companies will need to adapt their development practices and, so, their information systems to take advantage of quantum computing. Unfortunately, there is still a lack of tools, frameworks, and processes to support the evolution of current systems towards the combination of the quantum and classical paradigms into information systems. Hence, this paper presents a reverse engineering technique to generate abstract models based on the Knowledge Discovery Metamodel (KDM) by analyzing quantum software written in OpenQASM3. The main implication is that KDM models represent, in a technology-agnostic way, the different components and interrelationships of quantum software. These models then can be used to restructure and redesign the target hybrid information system.
