Apparatus and method for quantum computing performance simulation

A method comprising:

• initializing a quantum computing system simulator for simulating multiple layers of a quantum system including one or more non-quantum layers and one or more physical quantum device layers of the quantum system;
• simulating a first set of operations of the one or more non-quantum layers of the quantum system to generate first simulation results;
• simulating a second set of operations of the one or more quantum device layers of the quantum system to generate second simulation results;
• and
• analyzing the first and second simulation results to provide at least one configuration recommendation for the quantum system.
