Evolution of Service-Oriented Computing: Integrating Quantum Techniques for Integer Factorization

The development of quantum computing has caught the attention of businesses that could profit from implementing quantum software. Given this, it is not out of the question that in the coming years, hybrid systems will begin to emerge, merging together both the traditional software systems of organization and new quantum ones, giving solutions to difficulties that are today intractable. Service oriented computing (soc) is a logical technique to facilitate such integration. There are some conceptual similarities between calling on a classical service and calling on a quantum service, but there are significant technological differences. This research uses the amazon braket quantum service platform and a well-known problem with a quantum solution to highlight these distinctions and the difficulties inherent in developing high-quality quantum services (integer factorization). To practice providing the factorization as a quantum service, we perform the exercise. This case study illustrates the challenges associated with adopting service-oriented computing for integrating hybrid systems based on classical and quantum principles. After conducting this study, we were able to make suggestions on where to place effort in order to bring about the most effective realization of quantum service-oriented computing.
