Quantum Serverless: Flexible Hybrid Resource Management
Key Points
- Quantum Serverless is a toolkit that orchestrates both quantum and classical resources across the entire development workflow.
- It lets developers offload long‑running quantum tasks from their laptop to elastic, scalable compute resources such as CPUs, GPUs, and quantum hardware.
- The platform manages the diverse resource demands of mapping, optimization, hardware execution, and post‑processing through a unified layer that allocates and persists workloads.
- Users can deploy their program, shut down their local machine, and later retrieve results, eliminating the need to keep a laptop powered on for extended computations.

hello today I'd like to explain what
Quantum serverless is quantum serverless
is a set of tools to help you manage
your Quantum and classical resources
across your entire development workflow
so with that s
this as you can imagine you can have use
a variety of classical and Quantum
Resources in this workflow you can have
CPUs gpus
or
CPUs that you leverage across this
workflow now to manage all of these ones
you need to have a a flexible tool that
helps you actually figure out when you
want to use each of these resources for
your
tasks now typically when I develop
software I'm doing it on my laptop my
laptop has fixed computational resources
available to me and on top of that my
laptop has to stay on for the entire
duration of my computation
now for programs that I might be running
on a quantum computer today that could
take a long
time this could be on the hours of
days or a couple of hours even
but regardless my laptop has to stay on
for the entire time along with that it
has fixed resources like I mentioned I
can't really call on additional flexible
elastic resources that you know can make
my comp ation go faster or defer it to
something else that's more
performant so here's where quam
serverless really comes into play
throughout my entire development
workflow from
mapping for classical to Quantum
optimizing my
Quantum workload my circuits and my
observables for Target
Hardware execution on a Quantum
system or
postprocessing I might be using a lot of
different types of resources
here each of these tasks have different
resource requirements you know for for
mapping this could be a lot of classical
resources that
expend for optimization it could be a
combination actually of both
Quantum and classical such as if I
wanted to characterize a Quantum system
before I optimized it execution is going
to be a uh on the quantum
system and then for postprocessing I
would also want to use a variety of
classical
resources now that's a lot of resources
to manage as you can tell so what
Quantum servus does is help you have a
layer underneath all of
this to manage these
resources along with that you have these
long running workloads that can be
persisted inside this layer that has
flexible resources that you can allocate
to whichever task in your
workload so with that in mind you can
write your program deploy it into that
environment turn off your laptop throw
it into the river and then come back and
your program and its results are going
to be there waiting for you at the very
end
