  • Patent number: 12771643
    Abstract: An event is determined on a quantum network. A forecasted budget is determined for one or more entangled qubits for communicating at least a portion of one or more communication packets to a recipient interface over the quantum network with a superdense protocol. One or more first qubits that are respectively entangled with one or more second qubits are retrieved. Transmission of the one or more second qubits to the recipient interface is initiated.

  • Patent number: 12770043
    Abstract: A quantum instruction file (QIF) comprising programming instructions operable to manipulate a qubit is obtained. Real-time environmental metrics of each respective quantum computing system (QCS) of a plurality of QCSs are obtained. Based on the real-time environmental metrics it is determined that a first operating system service (OSS) implemented by an operating system (OS) of a first QCS of the plurality of QCSs is to be utilized for an execution cycle of the QIF, and a second OSS implemented by an OS of a second QCS of the plurality of QCSs is to be utilized for the execution cycle of the QIF. A QIF execution record, indicating that the first OSS and the second OSS are to be utilized for the execution cycle of the QIF, is generated. The first QCS and the second QCS are notified of the generation of the QIF execution record.

  • Patent number: 12762454
    Abstract: The ability to employ a qubit for computation and/or information processing is fragile. A qubit is employable for calculation purposes only when the qubit is in “coherence” with other qubits of the quantum computation system and isolated from other elements of the universe. Temperatures near absolute zero are often required for such isolation. Heat, as well as other conditions may cause a qubit to become decohered and “entangled” with other elements of the universe. The invention mitigates adverse issues associated with qubit decoherence in quantum computing and information processing systems. During the execution of a quantum computation, the utilized qubits are monitored for signatures indicating qubit decoherence and/or likely decoherence. Rising heat and/or temperature of a qubit may be one signal of decoherence. During the calculation, when a qubit is determined to be anomalous, the invention “swaps-out” the anomalous qubit and “swaps-in” a non-anomalous qubit.

  • Patent number: 12762453
    Abstract: Optimizing execution of quantum service definition files using a quantum optimization database is disclosed herein. In one example, a processor device of a computing device identifies a first one or more instructions within a quantum service definition file of a quantum service. The processor device next determines that the first one or more instructions correspond to a first entry in a quantum optimization database, the first entry comprising a result of a previous execution of the first one or more instructions. In response to determining that the first one or more instructions correspond to the first entry in the quantum optimization database, the processor device then modifies the quantum service definition file to incorporate the result of the previous execution of the first one or more instructions in place of the first one or more instructions.

  • Publication number: 20260311017
    Abstract: A quantum computing system receives a first qubit reservation request from a first quantum service, the first qubit reservation request identifying a first quantity of qubits. A first set of qubits equal in number to the first quantity of qubits is determined based on a qubit data structure that identifies a first plurality of qubits. The qubit data structure is altered to reserve the first set of qubits for the first quantum service. Qubit reservation information that identifies the first set of qubits is sent to the first quantum service.

  • Patent number: 12711414
    Abstract: Migrating executing quantum processes into Quantum Isolation Zones (QIZs) is disclosed herein. In one example, a processor device of a quantum computing device determines to migrate a quantum process currently executing using a first one or more qubits on the quantum computing device into a first QIZ, wherein the first QIZ limits qubit visibility of any quantum process associated with the first QIZ to a plurality of qubits associated with the first QIZ.

  • Patent number: 12659282
    Abstract: Cloud networks can be dynamically deployed for edge computing environments. For example, a control plane of a computing environment can detect a set of device identifiers and a set of priority levels for data transmitted by a set of edge devices in the computing environment. Each device identifier can correspond to an edge device in the set of edge devices. A network deployment service of the control plane can determine a network weight for the set of edge devices based on a set of device identifiers and the set of priority levels. The network deployment service can determine an adjustment to a virtual gateway based on the network weight. The virtual gateway can transmit data from the set of edge devices to a compute node in the computing environment. The network deployment service can execute the adjustment to the virtual gateway.
