Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of quantum computing technology, and in particular to a measurement and control system server and its operation method, and a quantum computer. Background Technology

[0002] A quantum computer is a physical device that operates according to the laws of quantum mechanics. It can perform high-speed mathematical and logical operations and store and process qubit information. Because quantum mechanics has properties that differ from classical mechanics, such as superposition, coherence, and entanglement, quantum computers can solve some problems that are difficult to solve on classical computers in a very short time.

[0003] Like classical computers, quantum computers are fundamentally about mathematical computation to solve a problem. The difference lies in their approach to data processing. While classical computers can directly process classical data, quantum computers require data in classical form to be prepared in the initial quantum state of the entire system. This data is then transformed into the final state of the quantum computing system through a series of unitary operations (i.e., quantum logic gates). Finally, quantum measurements are performed on the final state to output the result.

[0004] Compared to classical computers, the greater the amount of information that a quantum computer can process, the more advantageous it is for performing calculations, and the more accurate the calculations are ensured. Most quantum computers currently on the market employ a system consisting of a client, a cloud service interface, a database, a monitoring and control server, a quantum computing monitoring and control system, and quantum chips to perform quantum computing tasks. (See reference...) Figure 1 The structure shown is illustrated. The structure of the measurement and control system server proposed in the prior art can be referenced. Figure 2 The quantum computing system consists of a task service module, a resource management service module, a compilation service module, and a data processing service module. The resource management service module allocates the necessary qubit resources to each quantum computing task in the task queue. The compilation service module parses and compiles the quantum computing tasks into a first data packet based on the corresponding qubit resources. The data processing service module sends the first data packet to the quantum computing measurement and control system. The quantum computing measurement and control system outputs corresponding control signals to the quantum chip based on the first data packet to complete the corresponding quantum computing task. The quantum computing measurement and control system then sends back the generated second data packet. The data processing service module receives the second data packet, parses and processes it, and outputs the task execution result. Existing measurement and control system servers contain many functional modules, but the functions of many of these modules overlap with the functions of other components of the quantum computer, resulting in wasted resources.

[0005] Therefore, proposing a solution to improve the performance of quantum computers has become an urgent problem to be solved in this field.

[0006] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section of this application is intended only to enhance the understanding of the general background of this application, and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a measurement and control system server and its operation method, as well as a quantum computer, to solve the problem that in the existing technology, there are many functional modules in the measurement and control system server, but the functions of many of these modules overlap with the functions of other components of the quantum computer, resulting in a waste of resources.

[0008] To address the above technical problems, this invention proposes a measurement and control system server, comprising:

[0009] The compilation module is used to compile and process quantum computing tasks to output task packages;

[0010] The processing module is used to output instructions for scheduling the routing and forwarding module, and to convert the raw data into a specified format after receiving the raw data. The raw data is the feedback information received by the quantum computing measurement and control system after the quantum chip has completed the quantum computing task, which is forwarded by the routing and forwarding module.

[0011] The routing and forwarding module is used to distribute task packets according to the instructions of the processing module, and to receive the raw data and forward it to the processing module.

[0016] Optionally, the compilation module compiles the quantum computing task according to the configuration of the resource scheduler to output a task package, wherein the resource scheduler is a component in the quantum computer used for resource scheduling.

[0017] Optionally, the processing module outputs instructions for scheduling the routing and forwarding module according to the configuration of the resource scheduler.

[0018] Optionally, the specified format includes IQ format or P1 / P0 format, wherein the data in IQ format is used to reflect the distribution of the state of the corresponding qubit in the IQ coordinate system, and the data in P1 / P0 format is used to reflect the probability of the corresponding qubit being in the |1> state / |0> state.

[0019] Optionally, the compilation module includes a cache unit, which is used to cache the information of the quantum chip and the mapping relationship between the qubits and the various functional boards of the quantum computing measurement and control system.

[0020] Based on the same inventive concept, this invention also proposes a method for operating a measurement and control system server, comprising:

[0021] The compilation module compiles and processes quantum computing tasks to output task packages;

[0022] The processing module outputs instructions for scheduling the routing and forwarding module, and after receiving the raw data, converts the raw data into a specified format. The raw data is the feedback information received by the quantum computing measurement and control system after the quantum chip has completed the quantum computing task, which is forwarded by the routing and forwarding module.

[0023] The routing and forwarding module distributes task packets according to the instructions of the processing module, and receives the raw data and forwards it to the processing module.

[0025] Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention also proposes a readable storage medium storing a computer program thereon, which, when executed by a processor, can implement the operation method of the measurement and control system server described above.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0027] This invention proposes a measurement and control system server, including a compilation module, a processing module, and a routing and forwarding module. The compilation module is used to compile and process quantum computing tasks to output task packets. The processing module is used to output instructions for scheduling the routing and forwarding module, and after receiving raw data, converts the raw data into a specified format. The raw data is feedback information received by the quantum computing measurement and control system after the quantum chip completes the quantum computing task, forwarded by the routing and forwarding module.

[0033] The specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The advantages and features of the present invention will become clearer from the following description and claims. It should be noted that the drawings are all in a very simplified form and use non-precise proportions, and are only used to facilitate and clarify the illustration of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0034] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0035] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0036] The existing measurement and control system server solution receives several quantum computing tasks to be executed from the user through a task service module, stores all the quantum computing tasks to form a task queue, allocates the required qubit resources to each quantum computing task in the task queue through a resource management service module, parses and compiles the quantum computing tasks into a first data packet according to the corresponding qubit resources through a compilation service module, sends the first data packet to the quantum computing measurement and control system through a data processing service module, the quantum computing measurement and control system outputs corresponding control signals to the quantum chip according to the first data packet to complete the corresponding quantum computing task, and the quantum computing measurement and control system sends back the generated second data packet. The data processing service module receives the second data packet, parses and processes it, and outputs the task execution result.

[0037] The existing approach results in a loosely coupled and highly cohesive server system. The various service modules are largely independent with low interdependence, exhibiting strong scalability. Message queues facilitate communication between these modules, and they can also run in parallel, fully utilizing the server's multi-core CPU. However, in practical applications, the applicant discovered that quantum computers contain other components besides the control and measurement system server. For example, a resource scheduler is also included. The task service modules within the control and measurement system server overlap with the resource scheduler, leading to a certain degree of resource waste in the existing approach.

[0038] To address the issue of resource waste, the proposed solution streamlines the structure of existing measurement and control system servers, eliminating several redundant modules. Specifically, in this embodiment, please refer to... Figure 3 This invention provides a measurement and control system server, comprising:

[0039] The compilation module is used to compile and process quantum computing tasks to output task packages;

[0040] The processing module is used to output instructions for scheduling the routing and forwarding module, and to convert the raw data into a specified format after receiving the raw data. The raw data is the feedback information received by the quantum computing measurement and control system after the quantum chip has completed the quantum computing task, which is forwarded by the routing and forwarding module.

[0041] The routing and forwarding module is used to distribute task packets according to the instructions of the processing module, and to receive the raw data and forward it to the processing module.

[0042] Unlike existing technologies, this embodiment proposes a measurement and control system server, including a compilation module, a processing module, and a routing and forwarding module. The compilation module is used to compile and process quantum computing tasks to output task packets. The processing module is used to output instructions for scheduling the routing and forwarding module, and after receiving raw data, converts the raw data into a specified format. The raw data is feedback information received by the quantum computing measurement and control system after the quantum chip completes the quantum computing task, forwarded by the routing and forwarding module. The routing and forwarding module is used to distribute task packets according to the instructions of the processing module, and to receive the raw data and forward it to the processing module. Compared with existing solutions, the measurement and control system server proposed in this application simplifies the structure of existing measurement and control system servers, eliminates several redundant modules, and effectively reduces resource waste.

[0043] Furthermore, in the existing measurement and control system server architecture, the compilation module and processing module are configured in a one-to-one correspondence and are bound together. The processing module also needs to receive the corresponding result data after the quantum computing task is completed, parse and process it, and then output the task execution result. Due to the binding relationship with the compilation module, even though there is no task being compiled in the compilation module, it cannot continue the compilation of subsequent quantum computing tasks until the tasks in the processing module are completed. Therefore, this approach affects the efficiency of the quantum computer in executing quantum computing tasks. Specifically, in this embodiment, there are multiple compilation modules and multiple processing modules, and there is no one-to-one correspondence between them. Because this embodiment removes the one-to-one binding relationship between the compilation module and the processing module, the execution efficiency of the quantum computing task is higher.

[0044] In practical applications, the measurement and control system server generates several quantum computing tasks that need to be transmitted to the quantum processor for execution based on the user's computing needs. For example, the computing needs provided by the measurement and control system server can be in the form of quantum programs edited by quantum programming software, or quantum bit measurement and control experiments written by a quantum computing measurement and control software system. The number, type, and complexity of quantum computing tasks will vary depending on the needs. To facilitate the processing of various quantum computing tasks, the measurement and control system server needs to parse these tasks and adapt the protocols. In this embodiment, the compilation module includes a task parsing unit for task parsing and a protocol adaptation unit for task protocol adaptation. Specifically, in this embodiment, the compilation module includes a task parsing unit and a protocol adaptation unit.

[0045] The task parsing unit is used to perform task parsing on quantum computing tasks;

[0046] The protocol adaptation unit is used to adapt protocols for quantum computing tasks.

[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, the compilation module compiles the quantum computing task according to the configuration of the resource scheduler to output a task package, wherein the resource scheduler is a component in the quantum computer used for resource scheduling.

[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, the processing module outputs instructions for scheduling the routing and forwarding module according to the configuration of the resource scheduler.

[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment, the specified format includes IQ format or P1 / P0 format, wherein the data in IQ format is used to reflect the distribution of the state of the corresponding qubit in the IQ coordinate system, and the data in P1 / P0 format is used to reflect the probability of the corresponding qubit being in the |1> state / |0> state.

[0050] Specifically, in this embodiment, the compilation module includes a cache unit, which is used to cache the information of the quantum chip, the mapping relationship between the qubits and the various functional boards of the quantum computing measurement and control system.

[0053] S200: The processing module outputs instructions for scheduling the routing and forwarding module, and after receiving the raw data, converts the raw data into a specified format.

[0054] S300: The routing and forwarding module sends task packets according to the instructions of the processing module, and receives the raw data and forwards it to the processing module.

[0055] Based on the same inventive concept, embodiments of the present invention also propose a quantum computer, including a measurement and control system server as described in any of the above-described features.
