Abstract (es)
El auge de la computación cuántica ha abierto un nuevo paradigma en el procesamiento de la información, prometiendo superar los límites de la computación clásica. Sin embargo, el desarrollo de arquitecturas de software que puedan explotar plenamente este potencial es aún un campo de estudio constante, lleno de desafíos sin precedentes. Este artículo presenta los resultados reportados después de realizar una Revisión Sistemática de la Literatura sobre las arquitecturas de software desde el punto de vista del contexto de la computación cuántica, destacando las tendencias emergentes y delineando los principales desafíos que enfrenta este campo. Mediante un enfoque metodológico formal y riguroso, se identificó y analizó un total de 17 estudios considerados primarios, identificando patrones clave, metodologías de diseño y estrategias de implementación que están guiando la evolución de las arquitecturas de software cuánticas. Los resultados muestran una concentración de esfuerzos en la estandarización de protocolos, la seguridad cuántica y la escalabilidad, así como una creciente preocupación por la interoperabilidad con sistemas clásicos y la abstracción de la complejidad cuántica para los desarrolladores. Este estudio proporciona una consolidación crítica del conocimiento existente y establece una base para futuras investigaciones, señalando áreas emergentes y oportunidades para innovaciones disruptivas en el diseño y aplicación de software cuántico.
Abstract (en)
The rise of quantum computing has introduced a new paradigm in information processing, promising to surpass the limits of classical computing. However, the development of software architectures that can fully exploit this potential remains an ongoing field of study, filled with unprecedented challenges. This article presents the reported findings from a Systematic Literature Review on software architectures in the context of quantum computing, highlighting emerging trends and outlining the main challenges faced by this field. Through a formal and rigorous methodological approach, a total of 17 primary studies were identified and analyzed, revealing key patterns, design methodologies, and implementation strategies that are shaping the evolution of quantum software architectures. The results show a concentration of efforts on protocol standardization, quantum security, and scalability, along with growing concerns about interoperability with classical systems and the abstraction of quantum complexity for developers. This study not provides a critical consolidation of existing knowledge and lays the foundation for future research, identifying emerging areas and opportunities for disruptive innovations in the design and application of quantum software.
