A system and method that allows users to publish and execute quantum circuits without managing compilation or resource reservation, using a deployment service that generates containers for executing quantum circuits on classical or quantum computing resources, providing access to results through a web service and API, enabling on-demand access to quantum computing resources.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users directly manage quantum job compilation and resource reservation, then execution control and flexibility are improved, but system complexity and time consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a deployment service as an intermediary layer between users and quantum computing resources. This service automatically handles compilation, resource reservation, and job submission to quantum backends, allowing users to simply submit quantum circuits without managing the complex underlying infrastructure. The deployment service translates user-friendly quantum circuit definitions into backend-specific formats and manages resource allocation transparently.
2Adaptability or versatility
If quantum computing resources are provided with full management capabilities, then execution control is improved, but ease of use deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The deployment service implements self-service by automatically performing compilation, optimization, and resource allocation without requiring user intervention. When a user submits a quantum circuit, the system autonomously selects appropriate backends, compiles the circuit to the required format, reserves necessary quantum resources, and manages the execution lifecycle. This automation maintains full adaptability to different quantum backends while presenting a simplified interface to users.
3Reliability
If users manage compilation and resource reservation manually, then execution precision is improved, but productivity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-compiling quantum circuits to various backend formats and pre-reserving quantum resources before actual job execution. The deployment service maintains a cache of pre-compiled circuit versions for different quantum backends and pre-establishes resource allocations. This allows rapid job submission and execution without manual compilation or resource reservation steps, improving both reliability through proper preprocessing and productivity through reduced setup time.
Data Source
AI summary
A system for managing deployment of quantum circuits is described. The system may include a web server configured to receive, from a consumer, a quantum computing request to perform a job using a given quantum application. The web server may generate a response based on execution of the quantum application and at least a portion of the quantum computing request and return the response to the consumer. The system may also include a deployment service configured to store quantum circuit definitions in a data store. The deployment service may receive, from the web server, a deployment request for executing a quantum circuit. The deployment service may generate a container for implementing the quantum circuit. The deployment service may configure a quantum application in the container for executing a job using the quantum circuit. The deployment service may provide the web server access to results of the execution of the job.
