Abstract
Design, simulation, analysis and verification methodologies are crucial for developing electronic circuits and systems at large. Whereas long-standing EDA software is used in the semiconductor technology, there is no counterpart for quantum computing systems yet. Although the quantum computing community started utilizing and adapting some of the already existing EDA tools, for instance, to design quantum processors and control electronics for driving the qubits, or even to solve some quantum computing design tasks, they do not fully use the expertise gained over the last decades in the field of design automation. Current intermediate-scale quantum computers have been designed in an 'adhoc' manner with heterogeneous methods and tools. As we are entering the large-scale era, it is timely and key to further adopt EDA methodologies and software for quantum computing. In this paper, we provide an overview on how full-stack quantum computing systems are being implemented nowadays and discuss which the main challenges are for transitioning from this current scenario to a comprehensive framework encompassing full automated system-wide architecting, design, simulation, verification, and test.
