Abstract
Early advancements in quantum computing have opened up new possibilities to tackle complex problems across various fields, including mathematics, physics, and healthcare. However, the technology required to construct systems where different quantum and classical software components collaborate is currently lacking. To address this, substantial progress in service-oriented quantum computing is necessary, empowering developers to create and operate quantum services and microservices that are comparable to their classical counterparts. The main objective of this work is to establish the essential technological infrastructure for integrating an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). This integration enables developers to implement quantum algorithms through independent and automatable services, thereby facilitating the collaboration of quantum and classical software components. Additionally, this work has been validated through a practical case using Zato, a platform that supports service-oriented architectures. By achieving this goal, developers can harness the power of quantum computing while benefiting from the flexibility, scalability, and efficiency of service-oriented computing. This integration opens up new possibilities for developing advanced quantum applications and tackling real-world challenges across various domains.
