Various methods are provided for quantum computing (QC) based code-optimization. One example method may comprise receiving an indication of one or more runtime hotspots in executed code based on one or more QC algorithms, testing a portion of the executed code associated with at least one of the one or more identified runtime hotspots; generating a plurality of performance information indicators comprising information resulting from the testing of the portion of the code; selecting, based on the plurality of performance information indicators, one QC algorithm for the at least one of the one or more identified runtime hotspots; and utilizing the selected QC algorithm for the at least one of the one or more identified runtime hotspots to optimize the at least one of the one or more identified runtime hotspots.
