Modeling and Performance Evaluation of Hybrid Classical–Quantum Serverless Computing Platforms

Abstract: While quantum computing technologies are evolving toward achieving full maturity, hybrid algorithms, such as variational quantum computing, are already emerging as valid candidates to solve practical problems in fields, such as chemistry and operations research. This situation calls for a tighter and better integration of classical and quantum computing infrastructures to improve efficiency and […]

On the Stochastic Analysis of a Quantum Entanglement Distribution Switch

In this article, we study a quantum entanglement distribution switch that serves k users in a star topology. We model variants of the system as continuous-time Markov chains and obtain expressions for switch capacity, expected number of qubits stored in memory at the switch, and the quantum memory occupancy distribution. We obtain a number of analytic results […]
