Quantum resource access control through consensus

A quantum computing system, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor device coupled to the memory to:
• determine, by a quantum resource validator, that a quantum process seeks access to a quantum resource implemented by the quantum computing system;
• determine, by the quantum resource validator, that a particular contract of a plurality of contracts governs access to the quantum resource, the particular contract identifying a condition of the quantum computing system that is to be met prior to granting access to the quantum resource, wherein determining that the particular contract of the plurality of contracts governs access to the quantum resource comprises accessing a data structure that correlates ones of a plurality of quantum resources to ones of the plurality of contracts;
• send, by the quantum resource validator to a plurality of computing devices, information indicating that the quantum process seeks access to the quantum resource;
• receive, by the quantum resource validator from the plurality of computing devices, a corresponding plurality of condition determinations, each condition determination indicating whether the condition is met;
• and
• grant or deny access to the quantum resource based at least in part on the plurality of condition determinations.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that includes executable instructions to cause a quantum computing system to:

• determine, by a quantum resource validator, that a quantum process seeks access to a quantum resource implemented by the quantum computing system;
• determine, by the quantum resource validator, that a particular contract of a plurality of contracts governs access to the quantum resource, the particular contract identifying a condition of the quantum computing system that is to be met prior to granting access to the quantum resource, wherein determining that the particular contract of the plurality of contracts governs access to the quantum resource comprises accessing a data structure that correlates ones of a plurality of quantum resources to ones of the plurality of contracts;
• send, by the quantum resource validator to a plurality of computing devices, information indicating that the quantum process seeks access to the quantum resource;
• receive, by the quantum resource validator from the plurality of computing devices, a corresponding plurality of condition determinations, each condition determination indicating whether the condition is met;
• and
• grant or deny access to the quantum resource based at least in part on the plurality of condition determinations.
