author keywords: quantum education; quantum workforce; IBM Qiskit Runtime; REST APIs
topics (OpenAlex): Quantum Computing Algorithms and Architecture; Parallel Computing and Optimization Techniques; Quantum Information and Cryptography
TL;DR: This paper shows how the recent architecture of Qiskit Runtime environment, now accepting QASM strings into REST API calls, starts to bridge the gap between programming languages & quantum computing frameworks. (via Semantic Scholar)
