US 2026/0087544 A1 · SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR QUANTUM COMPUTING UTILITIES TRANSACTIONS IN A Networked EXCHANGE MARKETPLACE

Abstract

The technology disclosed describes a Quantum Utility Exchange (QUE) framework for managing and trading Quantum Utility Exchange Traded Resources (QU-ETRs). Providers define quantum resource packages (with time windows, usage limits, and resource specifications) and list them in a Recorded Database. Entities granted usage rights can trade these packages on the QUE through buy, sell, swap, or bid transactions, with all ownership transfers recorded and expired/consumed packages delisted. A Pending Database supports offers to buy or sell, searchable with AI/ML tools. The exchange uses secure blockchain-based communications, encrypted private tunnels, and verification processes to ensure integrity. Interfaces for providers and consumers enable package submission, searching, bidding, and downloading through a networked computer system. QU-ETRs can be traded under flexible contract types (“buy now-use now/later” or swaps), with transaction, validation, and alert mechanisms built into the system. Overall, the method establishes a secure, structured marketplace for allocating and exchanging quantum computing resources.

Dependent claims

A method of managing quantum computing resources, the method comprising:

one or a plurality of provider entities defining packages and Quantum Utility Exchange Traded Resources (QU-ETRs) that grant package right of use for one or a plurality of quantum computing utilities or classes of quantum computing utilities, each provider entity having direct control over the computing resources or classes of computing resources defined in each said package or said QU-ETR;
for each defined package or QU-ETR, recording a specific entity that has package right of use for said package or said QU-ETR;
and
a Quantum Utility Exchange to trade packages or QU-ETRs between entities, said quantum technology conveying package right of use of one or a plurality of packages or QU-ETRs between a seller and entity in exchange for monetary compensation, the permission to access the QUE, QU-ETRs, and communications are through an internal blockchain module.
