We propose a design called Quantum Factory Method, based on software engineering and design patterns, to solve these issues by integrating different quantum platforms in the same development. We provide example implementations whose results prove the suitability of the design in different cases, and conclude on how this approach can be expanded for future work.eng©2023 Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
