Abstract: Quantum computers are becoming more mainstream. As more programmers are starting to look at writing quantum programs, they face an inevitable task of debugging their code. How should the programs for quantum computers be debugged? In this paper, we discuss existing debugging tactics, used in developing programs for classic computers, and show which ones can be readily adopted. We also highlight quantum-computer-specific debugging issues and list novel techniques that are needed to address these issues. The practitioners can readily apply some of these tactics to their process of writing quantum programs, while researchers can learn about opportunities for future work.

The curse of random quantum data [62.24825255497622]
We quantify the performances of quantum machine learning in the landscape of quantum data. We find that the training efficiency and generalization capabilities in quantum machine learning will be exponentially suppressed with the increase in qubits. Our findings apply to both the quantum kernel method and the large-width limit of quantum neural networks.

A Comprehensive Study of Bug Fixes in Quantum Programs [2.4210353446643804]
We collect and investigate 96 real-world bugs and their fixes from four popular quantum programming languages Qiskit, Cirq, Q#, and ProjectQ. Our study shows that a high proportion of bugs in quantum programs are quantum-specific bugs (over 80%), which requires further research in the bug fixing domain.

Measuring the Capabilities of Quantum Computers [0.0]
We introduce techniques that can efficiently test the capabilities of any programmable quantum computer. We show that current hardware suffers complex errors that cause structured programs to fail up to an order of magnitude earlier than disordered ones. Our methods provide efficient, reliable, and scalable benchmarks that can be targeted to predict quantum computer performance on real-world problems.
