  • Publication number: 20240256270
    Abstract: A package delta that identifies differences between a first software package and a second software package is accessed. It is determined that the package delta is to be securely communicated to a second quantum computing system upon the occurrence of a first condition. It is determined that the first condition has occurred. In response to determining that the first condition has occurred, the package delta is transferred to the second quantum computing system using superdense coding.

  • Publication number: 20240242101
    Abstract: Handover of deeply nested queries for quantum computation is disclosed. In one example, a processor device of a computing system implements a query handover service that performs handover of deeply nested queries for quantum computation. The query handover service can detect when a query received by the classical computing system is so deeply nested that it will be challenging for the classical computing system to execute within certain computational constraints. Upon detection of such a query, the query handover service can handover execution of the query to a quantum computing system.

  • Patent number: 12039411
    Abstract: Performing Just-In-Time (JIT) error correction optimization for quantum services using quantum simulators is disclosed herein. In one example, a processor device of a classical computing device receives an error correction optimization request from a quantum computing device, the error correction optimization request comprising one or more instructions of a service definition file of the quantum service including a location of an error, and also comprising a corrective action. Upon receiving the error correction optimization request, the processor device instantiates a plurality of quantum simulator instances associated with corresponding plurality of error correction profiles. The processor device then initiates execution of the one or more instructions in each of the plurality of quantum simulator instances to generate a corresponding plurality of execution results.

  • Patent number: 12039404
    Abstract: Performing dynamic programmatic entanglement in quantum computing devices is disclosed herein. In one example, a quantum computing device executes a quantum service that comprises a first qubit and a second qubit. The quantum computing device implements an entanglement service that subsequently determines that the first qubit and the second qubit are to be placed in an entangled state. In response to the determining, the entanglement service places the first qubit and the second qubit in an entangled state, without requiring the quantum service to be terminated and restarted. In this manner, operations for programmatically entangling the qubits can be performed dynamically, and can be decoupled from the life cycle of the quantum service.
