Abstract
A compatibility is ascertained between a configuration of a quantum processor (q-processor) of a quantum cloud compute node (QCCN) in a quantum cloud environment (QCE) and an operation requested in a first instruction in a portion (q-portion) of a job submitted to the QCE, the QCE including the QCCN and a conventional compute node (CCN), the CCN including a conventional processor configured for binary computations. In response to the ascertaining, a quantum instruction (q-instruction) is constructed corresponding to the first instruction. The q-instruction is executed using the q-processor of the QCCN to produce a quantum output signal (q-signal). The q-signal is transformed into a corresponding quantum computing result (q-result). A final result is returned to a submitting system that submitted the job, wherein the final result comprises the q-result.
