A Noise Validation for Quantum Circuit Scheduling Through a Service-Oriented Architecture

Abstract

Progress in the realm of quantum technologies is paving the way for a multitude of potential applications across different sectors. However, the reduced number of available quantum computers, their technical limitations, and the high demand for their use are posing some problems for developers and researchers. Mainly, users trying to execute quantum circuits on these devices are usually facing long waiting times in the task queues. In this context, this work proposes a Service-Oriented architecture to reduce waiting times and optimize quantum computer usage by scheduling the circuits from different users into combined circuits that are executed at the same time. To validate this proposal, different widely known quantum algorithms have been selected and executed in combined circuits. The obtained results are then compared with the results of executing the same algorithms in an isolated way. This allowed us to measure the impact of the use of the scheduler against quantum noise. Among the obtained results, it has been possible to verify that the noise suffered by executing a combination of circuits through the proposed scheduler does not critically affect the outcomes.
