In a general aspect, a quantum streaming kernel processes a data stream. In some aspects, an input stream of data is converted to an output stream of data by repeatedly receiving new portions of the input stream; encoding each new portion into an internal quantum state of a quantum processor; measuring a first part of the internal quantum state while maintaining coherence of a second part of the internal quantum state; and producing the output stream of data based on the measurements. In some cases, a history of the input stream is preserved by the coherence of the internal quantum state, and the measurements contain information based on the history of the input stream.

Quantum streaming kernel

In a general aspect, input data for a computer process are preprocessed by a preprocessor unit that includes a quantum processor. In some aspects, a preprocessor unit obtains input data for a computer process that is configured to run on a computer processing unit. Randomized parameter values are computed for variable parameters of a quantum logic circuit based on the input data. A classical processor in the preprocessor unit computes the randomized parameter values from the input data and a set of random numbers. A quantum processor in the preprocessor unit produces quantum processor output data by executing the quantum logic circuit having the randomized parameter values assigned to the variable parameters. Preprocessed data generated based on the quantum processor output data are then provided as the input for the computer process configured to run on the computer processing unit.
