Abstract
As one of the latest advancing technologies, quantum computing shows its potential to rapidly solve problems that are too complex for traditional computing methods. However, due to its unique nature, such as its complicated principles of quantum mechanics, quantum computing is still not widely used in many fields. In the software engineering domain, one of the challenges is the lack of methodologies for constructing applications that use both quantum and classical computing environments. This study proposes an innovative Hybrid-Service architectural design approach for constructing hybrid quantum-classical applications. The design approach is then applied to the construction of a hybrid quantum Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) application to accelerate MRI speed as a case study to demonstrate the effectiveness of the design approach.
