arXiv:2607.20616v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Quantum computing is transitioning from an academic idea to a practical technology, driven by recent hardware advancements and clear paths toward real-world applications. Universal quantum ecosystems (e.g., Qiskit, Cirq, PennyLane) facilitate this transition by providing a consistent interface to diverse quantum devices, abstracting hardware-specific details through a device model that captures each device's computational capabilities. However, these device models have historically been shaped by superconducting hardware, assuming static qubit positions and fixed coupling maps. This prevents them from representing the unique computational capabilities of emerging technologies such as neutral atoms, which feature dynamic qubit rearrangement an...
