Abstract

However, quantum computing and its paradigm are being developed because quantum physics processes perform computation that is otherwise impossible to do with classical computing processes. Quantum cloud computing allows the integration of quantum computing with the cloud infrastructure to enable problems in optimization, cryptography, artificial intelligence, and large-scale data processing to be developed. In this paper, we have listed the advancements, challenges, and methodologies of quantum cloud computing that impact quantum algorithms in cloud computing. We discuss the use of quantum hardware on clouds, which will eventually lead to widespread adoption and a new high-performance computing era. It is then evaluated as a possible way of quantum computing in practical applications and compares different quantum algorithms in scenarios of cloud-based computing. Moreover, we implement a literature survey of methods for introducing quantum into the cloud infrastructure and show the benefits of quantum-enhanced cloud computing using our experimental results. As such, our research concludes that quantum hardware, software and novel quantum-classical hybrid models for applicability in the real world continue to need to advance.
