QuantumX: an experience for the consolidation of Quantum Computing and Quantum Software Engineering as an emerging discipline

The first edition of the QuantumX track, held within the XXIX Jornadas de Ingeniería del Software y Bases de Datos (JISBD 2025), brought together leading Spanish research groups working at the intersection of Quantum Computing and Software Engineering. The event served as a pioneering forum to explore how principles of software quality, governance, testing, orchestration, and abstraction can be adapted to the quantum paradigm. The presented works spanned diverse areas (from quantum service engineering and hybrid architectures to quality models, circuit optimization, and quantum machine learning), reflecting the interdisciplinary nature and growing maturity of Quantum Computing and Quantum Software Engineering. The track also fostered community building and collaboration through the presentation of national and Ibero-American research networks such as RIPAISC and QSpain, and through dedicated networking sessions that encouraged joint initiatives. Beyond reporting on the event, this article provides a structured synthesis of the contributions presented at QuantumX, identifies common research themes and engineering concerns, and outlines a set of open challenges and future directions for the advancement of Quantum Software Engineering. This first QuantumX track established the foundation for a sustained research community and positioned Spain as an emerging contributor to the European and global quantum software ecosystem.

Rethinking Services in the Quantum Age: The SOQ Paradigm

Quantum computing is rapidly progressing from theoretical promise to practical implementation, offering significant computational advantages for tasks in optimization, simulation, cryptography, and machine learning. However, its integration into real-world software systems remains constrained by hardware fragility, platform heterogeneity, and the absence of robust software engineering practices. This paper introduces Service-Oriented Quantum (SOQ), a novel paradigm that reimagines quantum software systems through the lens of classical service-oriented computing. Unlike prior approaches such as Quantum Service-Oriented Computing (QSOC), which treat quantum capabilities as auxiliary components within classical systems, SOQ positions quantum services as autonomous, composable, and interoperable entities. We define the foundational principles of SOQ, propose a layered technology stack to support its realization, and identify the key research and engineering challenges that must be addressed, including interoperability, hybridity, pricing models, service abstractions, and workforce development. This approach is of vital importance for the advancement of quantum technology because it enables the scalable, modular, and interoperable integration of quantum computing into real-world software systems independently and without relying on a dedicated classical environment to manage quantum processing.

Quantum circuit scheduler for QPUs usage optimization

Progress in the realm of quantum technologies is paving the way for a multitude of potential applications across different sectors. However, the reduced number of available quantum computers, their technical limitations and the high demand for their use are posing some problems for developers and researchers. Mainly, users trying to execute quantum circuits on these devices are usually facing long waiting times in the tasks queues. In this context, this work propose a technique to reduce waiting times and optimize quantum computers usage by scheduling circuits from different users into combined circuits that are executed at the same time. To validate this proposal, different widely known quantum algorithms have been selected and executed in combined circuits. The obtained results are then compared with the results of executing the same algorithms in an isolated way. This allowed us to measure the impact of the use of the scheduler. Among the obtained results, it has been possible to verify that the noise suffered by executing a combination of circuits through the proposed scheduler does not critically affect the outcomes.
