Abstract: Most of the widely used quantum programming languages and libraries are not designed for the tightly coupled nature of hybrid quantum-classical algorithms, which run on quantum resources that are integrated on-premise with classical HPC infrastructure. We propose a programming model using the API provided by OpenMP to target quantum devices, which provides an easy-to-use and efficient interface for HPC applications to utilize quantum compute resources. We have implemented a variational quantum eigensolver using the programming model, which has been tested using a classical simulator. We are in the process of testing on the quantum resources hosted at LRZ.
