  • Low-Latency, High-Performance Hybrid Computing
    Publication number: 20250013901
    Abstract: In a general aspect, a computer system includes a low-latency communication link between a classical computer and a quantum computing resource. In some cases, a quantum machine image operates on a classical computer system. The quantum machine image includes a virtualized execution environment for quantum programs. The quantum machine image is engaged with a quantum processing unit of a quantum computing system. A quantum program is communicated over a low-latency communication pathway from the classical computer system to the quantum computer system. The quantum program is executed at the quantum computer system.
