Most practical applications of quantum algorithms require much more qubits than those provided by current platforms. Merely augmenting the number of physical qubits on a single device is not beneficial for the quality of the computation, because of the increasing noise. Future devices will adopt quantum error correction to extract few high-quality logical qubits from many noisy physical qubits. Therefore, to supply users with many logical qubits it will be necessary to adopt the Distributed Quantum Computing (DQC) paradigm, leveraging the functionalities provided by the Quantum Internet.
In this lecture, we introduce the DQC paradigm and its main challenges. Then, we present a modular quantum compilation framework for DQC that considers both network and device constraints and characteristics. Furthermore, we also discuss about execution management of DQC jobs produced by the quantum compiler, considering a datacenter environment.
