QC Atlas User Guide

QC Atlas is a platform for sharing quantum software as part of the Quantum Application Lifecycle Management (QuAntiL) and the project PlanQK. It enables the collection of information about quantum algorithms, available implementations, and publications. Also the collection of information about available software platforms, cloud services, and their offered compute resources, such as quantum computers and simulators, are enabled.

General Information about UI-Components

The UI of the QC Atlas is built using List Views and Object Views.

List View

List Views can be reached by using the Navigation Bar on the left side of the UI.

Some List Views like the Execution Environments can contain more List Views. Navigation Bar items that contain more List Views have a Arrow Symbol and can be extended by a simple click.

Data Table

The List Views contain Data-Tables which are responsible for displaying all available objects of a certain type. For every different object type there is a separate List View. The user can use the controls of the tables to filter, sort and browse existing objects of a certain type.

Object View

As mentioned before, any Object View can be opened by clicking on any element of a List View. In the Header of any Object View, it's Name is displayed, as well as it's optional Tags. In addition, the Header may also contain information about any Revisionof an object.

All other information about the object is located in the Body of the Object View. The information is distributed across multiple Tabs. The General Tab usually contains the most basic information about the object. Other information is distributed across the other Tabs, which can differ from Object View to Object View.

Revisions

QC Atlas supports the use of revisions which are a sort of versions or snapshots of an object. When an object is saved, a revision is created automatically. This allows to browse and access older object data. When a revision is selected, the data is automatically loaded into the property fields of the General Tab and can then be viewed or edited. Saving these properties will result in creating a new revision, which will be the latest version of the object. Currently, the creation of revisions is supported for algorithms as well as implementations and only includes basic properties available in the General Tab.

Algorithm

Create Algorithm

To create an algorithm the user has to navigate to the Algorithm List View by using the navigation sidebar. This view displays all available algorithms in a table. Creating a new algorithm is done via the Plus Button which is located above the table.

Clicking on the Plus Button will open the following Creation Dialog, where the user has to type in all required information for creating a new algorithm.

After entering all required information, the user has to confirm the creation of the algorithm by clicking on the OK Button.

If the creation of the algorithm was successful, the user will be redirected to the detailed Algorithm View of the new algorithm.

Delete Algorithm

To remove a specific algorithm, the user has to simply click on the Delete Button in the Actions Column of the data table.

The user can also remove multiple algorithms at once by selecting them using the check-boxes of the data table. After the user has made his selection he can press the Master Delete Button at the top of the data table.

To confirm the deletion of the selected algorithm(s), the user has to click on the YES Button of the Confirmation Dialog.

Latex Renderer

Description

The generic component src/app/components/generics/property-input/text-input.component.ts contains a flag latexActive, which is disabled by default. On activation via input properties, text-input components are extended with a toggle slider to enable or disable Latex rendering for the respective input field.

Usage

When activated, the respective text-input field will provide a LaTeX button to open an editor with two text areas and a preview section.

The Additional LaTeX packages field takes all statements, which have to be declared before the \begin{document} instruction in Latex. The LaTeX content field takes every input which should be rendered within the document.

will send a render request to the latex-rendering service on port 8083 and display the result in the appropriate section.

will close the dialog and discard any modifications made.

will cache all modifications to the packages and content input fields and close the dialog.

Whenever the dialog closes with a modified text to render, the text-input component requests a rendering and displays the response as a svg snippet. The text-input signals modified content with a displayed save button.

Drawbacks

The Latex renderer service has been extended by OpenAPI's RESTful interface and has successfully been tested locally, but runs into a rendering error when executed in a docker container using the project's Dockerfile.

Once the docker container works as intended, the latex-renderer feature can be enabled and leveraged for text-input components.
