| Abstract: |
| Quantum computing is expected to solve many typical and difficult problems in theory. The rapid development of quantum computers in recent years is pushing the theory into practice. However, numerous errors in current hardware can cause incorrect computational results, which severely limit the ability of quantum computers to solve practical problems. Quantum computing system software lies between applications and hardware. In addition, tapping the full potential of the system software in mitigating hardware errors is crucial to realizing practical quantum computing in the near future. As a result, many research works on quantum computing system software have recently emerged. This study classifies them into three categories: compilers, runtime systems, and debuggers. Through an in-depth analysis of these works, the study sorts out the research status of quantum computing system software and reveals their important roles in mitigating hardware errors. This study also looks forward to future research directions. |
