Patent ID: 11487575

Abstract:
Enabling restoration of qubits following quantum process termination is disclosed. In one example, a quantum restore service, executing on a processor device of a quantum computing device, detects an exit request corresponding to a quantum process associated with one or more qubits. The quantum restore service obtains metadata, including an identification of the quantum process (such as a quantum process identifier (ID), a quantum process name, and/or a Quantum Assembly Language (QASM) file descriptor) and an identification of each qubit. The quantum restore service then maintains the qubits in association with the identification of the quantum process based on the metadata after termination of the quantum process. In some examples, the quantum restore service may allocate a logical partition, associate the logical partition with the quantum process, and then associate the qubits with the logical partition. In this manner, the qubits may be preserved after the quantum process has terminated.
