1Reliability
If conventional quantum error correction services are used, then quantum errors are detected and corrected, but performance penalties and resource consumption increase due to lack of optimization
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary simulation of quantum circuits with different error correction codes before actual quantum computation. Multiple quantum simulator instances are created to pre-test and evaluate different error correction strategies, allowing the optimal code to be selected before the actual quantum service execution, thereby avoiding performance penalties during runtime
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes parameters such as error correction code types, simulation precision levels, and quantum circuit configurations to identify optimal performance characteristics. By varying these parameters across multiple simulator instances and evaluating their execution results, the system determines the optimal error correction strategy for each quantum service
2Manufacturing precision
If multiple quantum simulator instances are used to optimize corrective actions, then execution results are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the error correction optimization process into independent quantum simulator instances, each responsible for simulating a specific quantum circuit configuration with a particular error correction code. This segmentation allows parallel evaluation of multiple error correction strategies without interfering with each other, making the complex optimization process manageable and scalable
Solution Approach 2:
A classical computing device acts as an intermediary between the quantum simulators and the quantum computing device. The classical device manages the multiple quantum simulator instances, collects their execution results, evaluates performance metrics, and selects the optimal error correction strategy to be applied on the actual quantum hardware, thereby simplifying the overall system architecture
3Reliability
If quantum error correction is applied in long-running quantum services, then error detection and correction are maintained, but resource consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically selects and applies error correction strategies based on real-time evaluation of quantum service characteristics and error patterns. Rather than applying a fixed error correction code throughout, the system adapts the error correction approach based on the specific quantum circuit, the type of errors detected, and resource availability, optimizing the balance between reliability and resource consumption

AI summary
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. The processor device uses a result evaluation criterion to identify an optimal execution result, and then transmits the optimal execution result to the quantum computing device.
