Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Quantum computing has emerged as a promising field with the potential to revolutionize information processing and storage. Understanding its current state and research trajectory is crucial. This study aims to map the current literature on quantum computing, to identify how quantum computing is being used in solving quantum software problems and improving quantum algorithms. Moreover, it examines evaluation parameters and the challenges faced in this field. A systematic mapping study was conducted using the SCOPUS database, including all papers up to December 2024. Relevant articles were selected based on inclusion criteria, and a content analysis was performed to categorize and synthesize the findings. Information was gathered from 33 primary studies. Findings show that quantum computing is mainly applied in machine learning and optimization, though classical methods still outperform it. IBM Quantum is the most used platform. Research focuses on algorithm efficiency, verification over validation, and resource optimization, but lacks standardized evaluation methods. Key limitations include hardware constraints, noise, and scalability, while challenges involve integration, error correction, and problem formulation. Quantum computing continues to face significant technological challenges, but current research lays the groundwork for future advances. More practical studies on real hardware and strategies to improve the implementation and performance of quantum algorithms are needed. Effective evaluation, verification, and validation of quantum solutions must be further investigated.
