摘要

The transition of quantum computing into practical applications depends on the successful combination of quantum algorithms with existing classical software systems. The resources for creating hybrid applications are currently fragmented, requiring teamwork efforts across various disciplines. Moreover, there are currently no clear predefined methods, standards, or solutions for these complex operations. We introduce hereby EniQmA which stands as a quantum software engineering framework for unifying this development process as well as deployment and operation of hybrid quantum-classical applications. EniQmA integrates agile workflows with domain-specific tool-chains along with quantum DevOps practices to enable connecting theoretical quantum algorithms with scalable industrial applications. The framework delivers structured process models together with quality standards and cohesive development tools to produce reliable and sustainable quantum software. Through its low-code/no-code capabilities, EniQmA makes quantum application development accessible to domain experts who have minimal quantum expertise or enable specialists to provide cutting-edge approaches in quantum computing. This framework is showcased in three real-world industrial scenarios: sustainability in aircraft building, anomaly detection in production, as well as railway transportation. EniQmA creates an essential initial step towards standardizing quantum software engineering, which speeds up the journey to practical quantum advantage in industrial applications.
