Distributed Quantum Computing with QMPI

Thomas Häner,
Damian S. Steiger,
Torsten Hoefler
et al.

Abstract: Practical applications of quantum computers require millions of physical qubits and it will be challenging for individual quantum processors to reach such qubit numbers. It is therefore timely to investigate the resource requirements of quantum algorithms in a distributed setting, where multiple quantum processors are interconnected by a coherent network. We introduce an extension of the Message Passing Interface (MPI) to enable high-performance implementations of distributed quantum algorithms. In turn, these… Show more

“…This research will eventually enable application-level compilers that optimize use distributed quantum software according to cost functions based on link use [56]. For example, in the area of protocols that route network traffic, the work in [57] presents Quantum MPI, inspired by classical messaging passing interface (MPI), to standardize qubit messaging and entanglement distribution between nodes for distributed and parallel quantum computing. Much has yet to be defined in the space of quantum network protocols due to ambiguity in how quantum networks will be physically realized.…”
