One example method includes evaluating a function invoked by a request that is received at a local classical computing execution environment, and the request also implies performance of a quantum computing function in a quantum computing execution environment, based on an outcome of the evaluating, determining whether or not the function should be run in the local classical computing execution environment, or whether the function should be run in a separate classical computing execution environment, and when the determining indicates that the function should be run in the separate classical computing execution environment, forwarding the request to the separate classical computing environment for execution of the function. The local classical computing execution environment, the separate classical computing execution environment, and the quantum computing execution environment, are respective first, second, and third, tiers of a hybrid computing execution environment.

3-tier quantum computing execution model

A method for generating one or more quantum circuits to be evaluated by one or more QPUs is disclosed. The method includes obtaining a problem to be solved using one or more QPUs and analyzing the problem for reductions in complexity to obtain a reduced problem. One or more quantum algorithms are generated to implement a potential solution to the reduced problem, and the quantum algorithms are translated into one or more quantum circuits. The method further includes transmitting the one or more quantum circuits to the one or more QPUs.

Intelligent quantum circuit generation

One example method includes receiving a hybrid/classical algorithm, determining a runtime characteristic of the hybrid/classical algorithm, based on the runtime characteristic, checking a memory availability for execution of the hybrid/classical algorithm, when adequate memory is not available to support execution of the hybrid/classical algorithm, modifying a classical/quantum memory fabric to provide enough memory to support execution of the hybrid/classical algorithm, and orchestrating the hybrid classical/quantum algorithm to an execution environment that includes the classical/quantum memory fabric.

Intelligent classical/quantum extended memory fabric

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.

Quality control system for quantum-as-a-service brokers

One example method includes identifying a column of a table, and the column includes multiple entries, setting a proposed uniqueness for the column, setting a confidence tolerance for the proposed uniqueness, estimating a sub-sample size for the column based on the proposed uniqueness and the confidence tolerance, based on the sub-sample size, sampling a subset of the entries in the column and, based on the sampling, determining whether or not the column is a primary key for the table.
