Abstract

Performing qubit manipulation using push notifications is disclosed herein. In one example, a quantum computing device comprises a system memory and a processor device communicatively coupled to the system memory. The processor device is to receive a push notification that includes an identifier of a qubit and a push notification payload, such as a data value to be written to the qubit and/or one or more qubit manipulation commands to be performed using the qubit. Upon receiving the push notification, the processor device obtains write access to the qubit, and then applies the push notification payload to the qubit, for example by writing the data value to the qubit and/or by executing the one or more qubit manipulation commands using the qubit.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a first quantum computing device, a push notification over a quantum channel, the push notification comprising an identifier of a first qubit and a push notification payload, the push notification payload comprising a second qubit transmitted over the quantum channel;

applying the push notification payload to the first qubit.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising subsequently executing a quantum service to which the first qubit is allocated.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
the push notification payload comprises one or more qubit manipulation commands; and
applying the push notification payload to the first qubit comprises:
obtaining the one or more qubit manipulation commands from the push notification payload; and

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the one or more qubit manipulation commands comprises one or more of a command for placing the first qubit into an entangled state and a command for setting a quantum state of the first qubit.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
obtaining, by a second quantum computing device, a result of a quantum operation;
generating the push notification payload based on the result of the quantum operation;
generating the push notification; and
transmitting the push notification to the first quantum computing device.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
obtaining, by a classical computing device, input data directed to the first qubit;
generating the push notification payload based on the input data;
generating the push notification; and
transmitting the push notification to the first quantum computing device.

7. A computing system, comprising:
a first quantum computing device, comprising:
