Watch this 19-minute conference talk from OSDI '25 that introduces HyperQ, a groundbreaking system for implementing virtual machines on quantum computers. Learn how researchers from University of Maryland, Columbia University, and University of Toronto have developed a solution to enable multiple quantum programs to run simultaneously on a single quantum computer, addressing the current limitation where users must monopolize entire quantum machines. Discover how HyperQ provides fault isolation, improves resource utilization, and reduces latency in quantum cloud computing by multiplexing quantum virtual machines in both time and space while maintaining complete isolation between programs. Explore the technical implementation that works seamlessly with existing quantum programs and compiler frameworks, requiring no modifications to existing code or compilers. Examine the experimental results from IBM's quantum computing service demonstrating how HyperQ can increase utilization and throughput while reducing program latency by up to an order of magnitude, all while maintaining or even improving the fidelity of quantum program execution results.
