Qonductor: A Cloud Orchestrator for Quantum Computing
Emmanouil Giortamis, Francisco Romão, Nathaniel Tornow, Dmitry Lugovoy, Pramod Bhatotia · 2025
We describe Qonductor, a cloud orchestrator for hybrid quantum-classical applications that run on heterogeneous hybrid resources. Qonductor abstracts away the complexity of hybrid programming and resource management by exposing the Qonductor API, a high-level and hardware-agnostic API. The resource estimator strategically balances quantum and classical resources to mitigate resource contention and the effects of hardware noise. The hybrid scheduler automates job scheduling on hybrid resources and balances the tradeoff between users’ objectives of QoS and the cloud operator’s objective of resource efficiency.
