Managing Iterative Hybrid Quantum-Classical Optimization as a First-Class Scientific Workflow
This study addresses the lack of orchestration, recovery, and portability in driver scripts for hybrid quantum-classical optimization by modeling iterative decomposition-solving-aggregation loops as scientific workflows. A dedicated orchestration layer is constructed to uniformly manage task generation, data provenance, and fault recovery. The proposed workflow model incorporates termination predicates, subproblem-level recovery, and QPU-to-classical-backend failover, while integrating ADMM, hierarchical partitioning, speculative re-execution, and quantum-HPC middleware. Experiments quantify the orchestration overhead across different decomposition patterns, validate system robustness under fault injection, and perform cross-device latency analysis.
