AI summary

Federated messaging for quantum systems through teleportation is disclosed. In one example, a first routing service of a first quantum computing device receives a routing request comprising a payload qubit and an identifier of a destination service of a second quantum computing device. The first routing service identifies a routing entry of a routing table corresponding to the destination service. A first teleporting service of the first quantum computing device is identified based on the routing entry, the first teleporting service being associated with a first qubit entangled with a second qubit of a second teleporting service of the second quantum computing device. The first routing service routes the routing request to the first teleporting service, which generates quantum state data for the payload qubit using the payload qubit and the first qubit. The quantum state data is then sent to the second teleporting service via a communications network.
