Abstract: Systems and methods for zero-footprint and safe execution of quantum computing programs are disclosed. According to one embodiment, in an electronic device comprising at least one computer processor, a method for cloud-based execution of quantum-computing programs may include: (1) receiving, from a user interface on a client device, a serialized file comprising a domain, an application, and an algorithm; (2) receiving, from the user interface, problem data and an identification of a quantum computing backend for executing the problem data; (3) instantiating a quantum program for execution and communicating the quantum program and the problem data to the quantum computing backend for execution; (4) receiving, from the quantum computing backend, an output of the execution; and (5) communicating the output to the user interface on the client device.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining the history of at least one network device (the “given device”) in a set of channel-based network devices coupled to a network maintains a history memory to generate a history of the given device. To that end, the current status of the given device is recorded in the history memory at one or more selected times. The current status is retrieved at the selected times from a registration memory that has the current status of the given network device. A reply message with device data relating to the given device responsively is generated in response to receipt of an inquiry message requesting information about the given device. The device data represents at least one of the current status and the history of the given device.
