LRZ Quantum User Study Report

The LRZ Quantum User Study Report is a technical report detailing a user-centered initiative aimed at understanding the needs and requirements of current and prospective quantum computing users at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ). The report outlines the objectives of the Quantum User Study (QUS), which include identifying user workflows and expectations to inform the design of quantum computing services. Through various methods such as surveys and structured interviews, the study produced user personas, use cases, and a comprehensive set of functional and non-functional requirements. The findings are intended to guide the development of the Munich Quantum Portal (MQP), ensuring that the services provided are user-friendly and aligned with user demands. The report also discusses the context of LRZ's position in the quantum computing landscape, the importance of stakeholder analysis, and the collaborative approach taken to enhance user experience and satisfaction. It emphasizes the need for continuous feedback to adapt services to evolving user needs and technological advancements.
