Visualizing or interacting with a quantum processor

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• managing, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, a quantum programming process to generate topology data for a quantum processor;
• generating, by the system, visualization data for the topology data that comprises a set of planar slice elements arranged to correspond to the physical topology of the set of qubits;
• providing, by the system, an interaction via a user interface between the visualization data and the quantum programming process;
• and
• initiating display, by the system, of ones of the set of qubit gates available for entanglement for a defined qubit based on detection of hovering of a cursor over the defined qubit.

A computer program product for facilitating interaction with a quantum processor, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:

• manage, by the processor, a quantum programming process to generate topology data for the quantum processor;
• generate, by the processor, visualization data for the topology data that comprises a set of planar slice elements arranged to correspond to the physical topology of the set of qubits;
• provide, by the processor, an interaction via a user interface between the visualization data and assembly code associated with the quantum programming process;
• and
• initiate display, by the processor, of the set of qubit gates available for entanglement for a defined qubit based on detection of selection of the defined qubit based on detection of hovering of a cursor over the defined qubit.
