Abstract

A quantum computing device determines quantum characteristics of a quantum computing system, wherein the quantum characteristics comprise properties of qubits of the quantum computing system. The quantum computing device stores in a time series database information containing the quantum characteristics of the quantum computing system. The quantum computing device categorizes the information in the time series database, wherein the categorized information is associated with the qubits. The quantum computing device obtains from the time series database via an application programming interface (API) the categorized information. The quantum computing device presents on a display device real-time information about the quantum computing system based on the categorized information.
