Quantum Executor: A Unified Interface for Quantum Computing

As quantum computing evolves from theoretical promise to practical deployment, the demand for robust, portable, and scalable tools for quantum software experimentation is growing. This paper introduces Quantum Executor, a backend-agnostic execution engine designed to orchestrate quantum experiments across heterogeneous platforms. Quantum Executor provides a declarative and modular interface that decouples experiment design from backend execution, enabling seamless interoperability and code reuse across diverse quantum and classical resources. Key features include support for asynchronous and distributed execution, customizable execution strategies and a unified API for managing quantum experiments. We illustrate its applicability through two life-like usage scenarios such as automated benchmarking and hybrid validation, discussing its capacity to streamline quantum development. We conclude by discussing current limitations and outlining a roadmap for future enhancements.
