Researchers have developed a new computing technology that allows multiple users to run programs simultaneously on a quantum computer for the first time.
This innovative system, known as “HyperQ,” is a form of virtualization technology that manages workloads by dividing the physical hardware of a quantum computer into multiple isolated quantum virtual machines (qVMs). Tasks are distributed using an intelligent scheduler.
The scheduler functions “like a Tetris master,” combining multiple quantum virtual machines (qVMs) to run simultaneously on different computers, according to Columbia University. The result is a single quantum computer that can simultaneously run different applications for multiple users. The scientists shared their findings in July in a new study presented at the 19th USENIX Symposium on Operating System Design and Implementation (OSDI ’25).
