1Productivity
If quantum computing resources are directly accessed by users, then computational power and speed are improved, but accessibility and ease of operation deteriorate due to high cost and specialized expertise requirements
Solution Approach 1:
A cloud-based interface system acts as an intermediary between users and quantum computing resources. This interface includes task submission modules, resource allocation modules, and result retrieval modules that abstract the complexity of quantum computing operations. Users can submit computational tasks through standard interfaces without needing to understand quantum mechanics or quantum programming languages, while the system automatically manages quantum resource allocation and execution.
2Ease of operation
If quantum computing resources are made accessible through a cloud platform, then ease of operation is improved, but system complexity increases due to integration of quantum and classical computing components
Solution Approach 1:
The hybrid computing system is segmented into distinct functional modules: a classical computing layer for task management and preprocessing, a quantum computing layer for specific quantum algorithms, and a cloud interface layer for user interaction. Each layer operates independently with well-defined interfaces, allowing the system to manage complexity through modular architecture while providing simplified access to users.
3Productivity
If computational tasks are decomposed into quantum and classical components, then computational efficiency is improved, but task management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The task decomposition process is made dynamic and adaptive. The system automatically analyzes incoming computational tasks, identifies suitable candidates for quantum processing based on task characteristics and available quantum resources, and dynamically allocates tasks between quantum and classical processors. This dynamic allocation optimizes computational efficiency while the automated decision-making process manages the complexity of task decomposition without requiring manual intervention.
