The disclosure describes various aspects of a software-defined quantum computer. For example, a software-defined quantum computing architecture for allocating qubits is described that includes an application programming interface (API); a quantum operating system (OS) on which the API executes, with the quantum OS including a resource manager and a switch; and a plurality of quantum cores connected by the switch of the quantum resource OS. Moreover, the resource manager of the quantum resource OS determines an allocation of a plurality of qubits in the plurality of quantum cores.

Software-defined quantum computer

The disclosure describes various aspects of a software-defined quantum computer. For example, a method is described for generating an intermediate representation of source code for a software-defined quantum computer. The method includes performing a lexical analysis on a high-level intermediate representation of a quantum programming language; performing semantic analysis on an output of the lexical analysis; and generating a mid-level intermediate representation of the quantum programming language based on an output of the semantic analysis.

Systems and techniques are provided for a port server for heterogeneous hardware. A port server may include computing devices that may include multiple connection types. Storage devices may be connected to the computing devices. The computing devices may receive a communication from an external computing device intended for a hardware device of a heterogenous system over one of the connection types. The communication may be sent to the hardware device of the heterogenous system using one of the connection types. A response may be received from the hardware device of the heterogenous system over the connection type used to send the communication to the hardware device. The response from the hardware device of the heterogenous system may be sent to the external computing device over the connection type over which the communication was received from the external computing device.

The disclosure describes various aspects of quantum computer simulators. In an aspect, a method for characterizing a quantum computer simulator includes identifying simulator processes supported by the quantum computer simulator, generating, for each simulator process, characteristic curves for different gates or quantum operations, the characteristic curves including information for predicting the time it takes to simulate each of the gates or quantum operations in a respective simulator process, and providing the characteristic curves to select one of the simulator processes to simulate a circuit, quantum program, or quantum algorithm that uses at least some of the gates or quantum operations. In another aspect, a method for optimizing simulations in a quantum computer simulator is described where a simulator process is selected for simulation of a circuit, quantum program, or quantum algorithm based on characteristic curves that predict a time it takes for the simulation to be carried out.

Quantum computer simulator characterization

The disclosure describes various aspects of a software-defined quantum computer. For example, a software-defined quantum computer and an expandable/modular quantum computer are described. Also described are at least a software-defined quantum architecture, a resource manager workflow, a quantum compiler architecture, hardware description language configuration, levels of application programming interface (API) access points, and exception handling in software-defined quantum architecture.

A method includes receiving an instruction used to define a widget-container containing a service module associated with a widget. The widget-container is a procedural software framework configured to be executed at a widget-container processing device in response to a reference to the widget-container being accessed from a content aggregation point. The widget-container has a portion configured for receiving the widget. The method also includes determining whether processing of the widget within the portion of the widget-container is restricted and/or allowed.

Method and apparatus for widget and widget-container distribution control based on content rules

Remote Procedure Call (RPC) is implemented using XML-based message encoding wherein elements in the message corresponding to arguments of the RPC are associated with element type indicators selected from a defined set. The type indicators may allow the message itself to identify structural aspects of the message, particularly useful in the context of array elements, but useful for other types of elements as well.

XML remote procedure call (XML-RPC)

An integration server translates transmissions from clients and servers to a form that each can understand. The integration server accomplishes this through invocation of one or more services, and a flow language is disclosed for managing the flow of data through the services. In addition, service invocation results are cached for later use on reception by the integration server of the same or equivalent service invocation request.

Integration server supporting multiple receiving channels

A method and system can include multiple data handling stages for manipulating tracked information associated with content distributed to users and/or computers, such as static objects, media objects, and/or software objects, for example. The content can be distributed as widget instances and the associated tracked information can be received over a network. The information received can be associated with a session corresponding to each widget instance and/or with multiple identifiers, such as widget, user, content, session, content aggregation point, processor, and/or placement identifiers, for example. Data handling processes, including sorting, storing, filtering, combining, queuing, and/or authenticating, for example, can be performed during the data handling stages. The processed information can be used to determine modifications to a behavior associated with widgets and/or widget containers.

Method and apparatus for data processing

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a request from a processing device to send a widget to a handheld mobile device. The request can be defined after at least a portion of an instance of the widget has been processed at the processing device. The request can be associated with a widget identifier. The method can also include defining a widget precursor at a widget-sharing server in response to the request from the processing device. The widget precursor can be associated with the widget identifier and a placement identifier.

Methods and apparatus for widget sharing between content aggregation points

A method includes receiving at least one of a widget or a reference to a widget, where the widget can be at least one of a static data object, a media object, or a software object. At least a portion of a widget container, which is a procedural software framework containing a service module associated with the widget and the widget, is generated. The service module can be a pre-defined function associated with the widget container before the widget container is generated. The widget container can be configured to be executed at a widget-container processing device in response to a reference to the widget container being accessed from a processor-readable vehicle.

Method and apparatus for widget-container hosting and generation

A Remote Procedure Call (RPC) uses a message expressed in a mark-up language message encoding, with type labels indicating data item types.
