Abstract
This paper introduces QuanUML, an extension of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) tailored for quantum software systems. QuanUML integrates quantum-specific constructs, such as qubits and quantum gates, into the UML framework, enabling the modeling of both quantum and hybrid quantum-classical systems. We apply QuanUML to Efficient Long-Range Entanglement using Dynamic Circuits and Shor’s Algorithm, demonstrating its utility in designing and visualizing quantum algorithms. Our approach supports model-driven development of quantum software and offers a structured framework for quantum software design. We also highlight its advantages over existing methods and discuss future improvements.
