Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques for seamlessly switching between a classical controller and a quantum controller that both implement an application, based on which controller is better suited for processing a received request for functionality of the application. The classical controller and the quantum controller both implement the same logic for the application, and the classical controller interfaces with a model and a view as part of a model, view and controller (MVC) framework. A Quantum Model View Controller (QMVC) service determines whether the request is to be processed by the classical or quantum controller. In response to determining that the request is to be processed by the quantum controller, the QMVC service diverts the request to the quantum controller and provide a first application program interface (API) gateway between the quantum controller and the model and a second API gateway between the quantum controller and the view.

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for injecting in-process agents into processes executing self-contained, statically linked binaries that do not interact with a dynamic loader mechanism that identifies and resolves required libraries at run time. System calls directed to the execution of binaries in processes are intercepted and the targeted binary is analyzed to determine whether it is statically linked. In case a statically linked binary is identified, a proxy launcher process is started instead of the binary which starts the original binary as traceable child process. After the child process has loaded the original binary into its process memory, the memory image of the child process is copied to the launcher process and the child process is terminated. An agent is loaded into the launcher process to instruments the copied memory image.
