Abstract
Quantum computing is a new approach to computing based on quantum mechanics. It holds great promise for solving problems that classical computers cannot reach in a reasonable time, up to the point that it is already attracting the interest of the scientific and industrial communities. As quantum technology continues to advance and quantum computers become more prevalent, the need for hybrid systems that can integrate quantum software with classical information systems is becoming increasingly pressing. One of the most promising solutions for this integration is web engineering, which provides artifacts that are already well consolidated in classical computing and that can be integrated into quantum systems. Therefore, web engineering can provide a leap forward in the advancement of quantum computing. This thesis aims to design an orchestration method to coordinate and integrate quantum services into classic software systems and propose DevOps techniques for managing the life cycle of these systems.
