DEQSE Quantum IDE Extension: Integrated Tool for Quantum Software Engineering

This paper presents a tool that simplifies quantum software development by unifying circuit design, code generation, and execution within a single cross-platform environment that supports iterative development. Implemented as open source, the DEQSE Quantum IDE Extension has been developed to provide quantum functionalities within the Visual Studio Code environment, including project creator, code runner, code converter, and embedded quantum circuit simulator. Furthermore, the system provides capabilities that facilitate iterative development and support learning, distinguishing it from other available Visual Studio Code Extensions for quantum computing.
