Hybrid Quantum Computing Network

Abstract

A distributed computing network includes a quantum computation network and a processor. The quantum computation network includes one or more quantum processor units (QPUs) interconnected one with the other using quantum interconnects including each a quantum link and quantum network interface cards (QNICs), where each QPU is further connected to, using the QNIC, a quantum memory. The processor is configured to receive a quantum computation task, and, using a network interface card (NIC) (i) allocate the quantum computation task to the computation network, by activating any of the quantum interconnects between the QPUs according to the quantum computation task, and (ii) solve the quantum computation task using the quantum computation network.
