Abstract

Systems, computer-implemented methods, and computer program products to facilitate translation of a quantum design across multiple applications are provided. According to an embodiment, a system can comprise a memory that stores computer executable components and a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can comprise a quantum library component that stores a data structure representing a quantum geometry that is a physical representation of a quantum element in a quantum component. The computer executable components can further comprise a quantum renderer component that translates the quantum geometry into a defined format of an application based on the data structure.
