Patent number: 12198005Abstract: A quantum computing service may use multiple quantum computers to execute a same quantum computing algorithm to improve the quantum computational accuracy. The quantum computing service may instruct individual ones of the multiple quantum computers to execute the quantum computing algorithm repeatedly for a number of times. The quantum computing service may obtain a plurality of results from the multiple quantum computers. The quantum computing service may aggregate the plurality of results to generate an ensemble result, and provide the ensemble result to a customer as a final result of the quantum computing algorithm.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2021Date of Patent: January 14, 2025Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Christian Bruun Madsen, Jeffrey Paul Heckey, Cody Aoan Wang, Yunong Shi

Publication number: 20240330738Abstract: Systems and method for implementing quantum circuit compilation as-a-service are disclosed. In some embodiments, a quantum circuit compilation service is configured to compile quantum circuits for a plurality of third-party customers, wherein the compilation service supports compiling quantum circuits to be executed on a plurality of different quantum processing units that utilize various different quantum computing technologies. In some embodiments, the quantum computing service generates a customized compilation job plan for each quantum circuit to be compiled. The compilation job plan may reference modular compilation passes stored in a repository of the quantum circuit compilation service. The modular passes may be mixed and matched as needed to allow for compilation of a wide-variety of quantum circuits to be executed using various different quantum computing technologies.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2023Publication date: October 3, 2024Applicant: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Yunong Shi, Ravi Kiran Chilakapati, Jeffrey Paul Heckey, Jon-Mychael Allen Best, Eric M Kessler

Publication number: 20240249177Abstract: A quantum computing service may store, in a cache, one or more compiled files of respective quantum functions included in one or more quantum computing programs received one or more customers. When the quantum computing service receives another quantum computing program, from the same or a different customer, the quantum computing service may determine whether the quantum computing program may include one or more of the quantum functions corresponding to the compiled files in the cache. If so, the quantum computing service may use the compiled files in the cache to compile the quantum computing program.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2024Publication date: July 25, 2024Applicant: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Saravanakumar Shanmugam Sakthivadivel, Jeffrey Paul Heckey, Derek Bolt, Yunong Shi, Jon-Mychael Allen Best

Publication number: 20240112062Abstract: A system for managing deployment of quantum circuits is described. The system may include a web server configured to receive, from a consumer, a quantum computing request to perform a job using a given quantum application. The web server may generate a response based on execution of the quantum application and at least a portion of the quantum computing request and return the response to the consumer. The system may also include a deployment service configured to store quantum circuit definitions in a data store. The deployment service may receive, from the web server, a deployment request for executing a quantum circuit. The deployment service may generate a container for implementing the quantum circuit. The deployment service may configure a quantum application in the container for executing a job using the quantum circuit. The deployment service may provide the web server access to results of the execution of the job.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Saravanakumar Shanmugam Sakthivadivel, Altanali Nagji, Jeffrey Paul Heckey, Christian Bruun Madsen, Denis Antipov, Ravi Kiran Chilakapati

Publication number: 20230110628Abstract: A quantum computing service includes a quality of service (QoS) and out-of-band prioritization module. The QoS and out-of-band prioritization module enforces QoS guarantees for quantum tasks and quantum jobs submitted to the quantum computing service while allowing for processing of the quantum jobs and quantum tasks based on QoS guarantees and not necessarily in an order in which the quantum jobs or quantum tasks are received. Also, the QoS and out-of-band prioritization module determines updated priorities out-of-band based on quantum resource usage information for previously executed quantum tasks such that submittal of pending quantum tasks is not delayed in while update priorities are being determined.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2021Publication date: April 13, 2023Applicant: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Paul Heckey, Saravanakumar Shanmugam Sakthivadivel, Derek Bolt, Jon-Mychael Allen Best, Ravi Kiran Chilakapati, Christian Bruun Madsen, Eric M.
