Abstract
Quantum processing unit slicing is disclosed. The qubits of a quantum processing unit are sliced or grouped to accommodate multiple independent and separate quantum jobs. The quantum jobs are matched, based on user tolerances related to at least number of shots, and the quantum jobs are then merged and performed. The results for each of the specific quantum jobs concurrently performed are extracted from the overall results of the quantum processing unit.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving quantum jobs in a job queue, wherein the quantum jobs are configured to be run on a quantum processing unit;
- matching at least a first quantum job and a second quantum job for concurrent execution on the quantum processing unit;
- merging a first quantum circuit in the first quantum job with a second quantum circuit in the second quantum job into a final quantum job;
- executing the final quantum job on the quantum processing unit;
- returning results of the final quantum job;
- and
- separating the results into first results associated with the first quantum job and second results associated with the second quantum job.
A non-transitory storage medium having stored therein instructions that are executable by one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving quantum jobs in a job queue, wherein the quantum jobs are configured to be run on a quantum processing unit;
- matching at least a first quantum job and a second quantum job for concurrent execution on the quantum processing unit;
- merging a first quantum circuit in the first quantum job with a second quantum circuit in the second quantum job into a final quantum job;
- executing the final quantum job on the quantum processing unit;
- returning results of the final quantum job;
- and
- separating the results into first results associated with the first quantum job and second results associated with the second quantum job.
