A Framework for Managing the Models of Engineered Quantum Systems
🤖 AI Summary
Existing model synchronization approaches struggle to accommodate the superposition and entanglement inherent in quantum systems, thereby failing to ensure consistency across heterogeneous models from multiple domains. To address this challenge, this work proposes QSysMM—the first dedicated model management framework tailored for engineered quantum systems—which establishes a unified digital single source of truth by harmonizing quantum engineering models along four dimensions: ontology, abstraction, composition, and exposure. Built upon the SysML v2 technology stack, we introduce QSysML, a companion modeling language that integrates model-driven engineering with quantum information science to preserve quantum semantics throughout model transformations. This framework provides a comprehensive foundation for the construction, verification, and maintenance of complex quantum systems through robust model synchronization and management.
📝 Abstract
Quantum technologies are maturing into systems that classical engineering must build, verify and maintain. The model-driven community has begun to respond with quantum-aware pipelines and languages, and the domain models these produce must be synchronised with the heterogeneous models created and owned by other communities. We argue that existing synchronisation approaches are insufficient for engineered quantum systems. A quantum system description captures superposition and entanglement, which a model transformation could remove undetected, while every structural check passes. To address this, we present the Quantum Systems Model Management (QSysMM) Framework, which guides the construction and synchronisation of the models of a quantum system into a digital single source of truth. The framework features four concerns: ontological, abstraction, composition and exposure, each given the treatment that engineered quantum systems require. Within this framework, we propose a Quantum Systems Modelling Language (QSysML) on the SysML v2 technology stack, and we close with a proposal that matures this synchronisation core into full model management for quantum systems.
