Abstract
Quality control operations for quantum processing units are disclosed. A broker application may perform quality control jobs to determine baseline characteristics about quantum processing units. The characteristics of user-submitted jobs can be compared to the baseline characteristics associated with the quality control jobs. This allows the broker to generate a confidence score that reflects at least whether the user-submitted job was performed on the quantum processing unit expected by the user.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving a quantum job at a broker, wherein the quantum job is associated with a specified quantum processing unit;
- performing the quantum job and a quality control job at a quantum processing unit;
- determining whether the quantum processing unit that performed the quantum job is the specified quantum processing unit associated with the quantum job based on a comparison between characteristics of an output associated the quality control job and expected characteristics of the specified quantum processing unit;
- and
- generating a confidence score that reflects a confidence that the quantum job was performed at the specified quantum processing unit
A non-transitory storage medium having stored therein instructions that are executable by one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a quantum job at a broker, wherein the quantum job is associated with a specified quantum processing unit;
- performing the quantum job and a quality control job at a quantum processing unit;
- determining whether the quantum processing unit that performed the quantum job is the specified quantum processing unit associated with the quantum job based on a comparison between characteristics of an output associated the quality control job and expected characteristics of the specified quantum processing unit;
- and
- generating a confidence score that reflects a confidence that the quantum job was performed at the specified quantum processing unit
