The FullStaQD project is an early attempt to standardize quantum software design through a layered reference architecture, before fault-tolerant quantum hardware exists. Its main value is the separation of applications, system functions, and hardware, which could let teams build software without tying it to any one machine. Readers should treat it as a design proposal, not a working platform, and watch whether it gains adoption and produces concrete interface specifications.
KIT and partners build a blueprint for quantum software

Researchers from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and partners are building a reference architecture for quantum software, a first-of-its-kind project—FullStaQD—to standardize development and avoid past software limitations.
Researchers from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering are building a blueprint for quantum software despite the fact that “there are no quantum computers in existence today that are fit for practice.” The FullStaQD project is developing the first reference architecture to establish a foundation for quantum software, proactively addressing a critical need before functional…
