Patent number: 10484479Abstract: Quantum processing devices are integrated with conventional distributed computing paradigms. In one aspect, ideas from classical distributed and high-performance computing are brought into the quantum processing domain. Various architectures and methodologies enable the bilateral integration of quantum processing devices and distributed computers. In one aspect, a system is composed of a high-level API and library, a quantum data model, and a set of software processes to prepare this data model for computation on a quantum processing device and to retrieve results from the quantum processing device. This provides a way for distributed computing software frameworks to integrate one or more quantum processing devices into their workflow.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2017Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: QC WARE CORP.Inventors: Matthew C.
