System, method and computer readable medium for quassical computing

Abstract:

A system comprising a classical computing subsystem to perform classical operations in a three-dimensional (3D) classical space unit using decomposed stopping points along a consecutive sequence of stopping points of sub-cells, along a vector with a shortest path between two points of the 3D classical space unit. The system includes a quantum computing subsystem to perform quantum operations in a 3D quantum space unit using decomposed stopping points along a consecutive sequence of stopping points of sub-cells, along a vector selected to have a shortest path between two points of the 3D quantum space unit. The system includes a control subsystem to decompose classical subproblems and quantum subproblems into the decomposed points and provide computing instructions and state information to the classical computing subsystem to perform the classical operations to the quantum computing subsystem to perform the quantum operations. A method and computer readable medium are provided.
