Quantum hybrid computation

An apparatus (OS perspective), comprising:

• a receiver to receive a hybrid program;
• an arbiter to assign respective functions to either of classical information processing or quantum information processing, based on one or more criteria for the respective functions;
• a scheduler to schedule processing of the respective functions on either of a classical processor or a quantum processor, as assigned by the arbiter;
• and
• a manager to:
• transfer partial results of the scheduled processing between the classical processor and the quantum processor,
• collate results of the processing on the classical processor and the quantum processor.

A computer-readable medium storing executable instructions that, upon execution, cause a digital computing processor to perform functions comprising:

• receiving a hybrid program having one or more executable components written in a first language and one or more executable components written in a second language;
• assigning the one or more executable components written in the first language for execution in a first computing environment;
• assigning the one or more executable components written in the second language for execution in a second computing environment;
• scheduling execution in the first computing environment relative to execution in the second computing environment;
• collating results of the scheduled execution;
