  • Publication number: 20240045711
    Abstract: A method and quantum computing device for preempting a quantum program. A first quantum circuit is executed by a quantum processor to process a first job of the quantum program for a number of shots, where the number of shots defines how many times a quantum circuit is to be repeatedly executed. The execution of the first quantum circuit to process the first job is then preempted, such as to allow a higher priority and/or shorter-running job to be processed. Upon preempting the execution of the first quantum circuit, the quantum processor executes a second quantum circuit to process a second job (e.g., higher priority and/or shorter-running job to be processed). Upon completion or preemption of the execution of the second quantum circuit to process the second job, the quantum processor completes the execution of the first quantum circuit to process the first job.

  • Patent number: 11740901
    Abstract: Embodiments are provided for centralized control of execution of a quantum program. In some embodiments, a system can include a processor that executes computer-executable components stored in memory. The computer-executable components include a synchronization component that causes multiple controller devices remotely located relative to the system to be synchronized with one another and the system. The computer-executable components also include an ingestion component that accesses measurement data resulting from one or more measurements at respective qubit devices. The computer-executable components further include a composition component that generates, using the measurement data, one or more control messages for respective second controller devices of the multiple controller devices.

  • Patent number: 11741387
    Abstract: Techniques facilitating quick waveform revisions following quantum system calibrations. In one example, a system can comprise a processor that executes computer executable components stored in memory. The computer executable components comprise: a calibration component; and a regeneration component. The calibration component can identify a parameter of a directed graph changed by a calibration of a quantum system that occurs after generation of the directed graph. The regeneration component can revise the directed graph based on the identified parameter to generate an updated directed graph.

  • Patent number: 11551126
    Abstract: Techniques for quantum data post-processing are provided. In one example, a system includes a quantum programming component and a post-processing component. The quantum programming component receives quantum output data that includes a set of quantum results for a quantum circuit in response to simulation of the quantum circuit. The post-processing component adjusts the quantum output data associated with the quantum circuit based on client system data indicative of information for a client system that consumes the quantum output data.
