Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 11:
12. A heterogenous computing system comprising:
a quantum processor unit comprising a plurality of devices;
a host processor unit configured to perform operations comprising:
identifying a computer program to be executed;
characterizing the quantum processor unit, wherein characterizing the quantum processor unit comprises determining initial values of parameters and operating frequencies of the plurality of devices;
after characterizing the quantum processor unit, establishing real-time control of the quantum processor unit; and
during the real-time control of the quantum processor unit:
executing a first data processing task in the computer program;
sending a second data processing task in the computer program to the quantum processor unit for execution by the quantum processor unit, the second data processing task comprising one or more quantum logic gates to be performed by one or more of the plurality of devices;
determining current values of the parameters and operating frequencies of the plurality of devices; and
accounting for signal drift based on the current values of the parameters and operating frequencies of the plurality of devices.
