Abstract

One of the roadmap plans for quantum computers is an integration within HPC ecosystems assigning them a role of accelerators for a variety of computationally hard tasks. However, in the near term, quantum hardware will be in a constant state of change. Heading towards solving real-world problems, we advocate development of portable, architecture-agnostic hybrid quantum-classical frameworks and demonstrate one for the community detection problem evaluated using quantum annealing and gate-based universal quantum computation paradigms.
