Abstract
Access protection for shared qubits is disclosed herein. In one example, a processor device first determines that a first quantum process associated with one or more qubits is scheduled for execution (e.g., based on metadata obtained from the quantum process manager.) The processor device next identifies a second quantum process that is active and that is also associated with the one or more qubits. The processor device then prevents the first quantum process (i.e., the quantum process that is scheduled to execute) from accessing the one or more qubits. In some examples, the processor device may prevent access to the one or more qubits by causing the first quantum process to be placed in a blocked state pending release of the one or more qubits by the second quantum process (i.e., the currently active quantum process).
