Abstract

Modern High-Performance Computing (HPC) infrastructures are increasingly integrating multiple Quantum Processing Units (QPUs) of different types alongside classical resources. Unlike traditional accelerator scheduling, quantum device selection affects not only performance but also the quality of the computed result because current quantum hardware exhibits device-dependent noise characteristics. This makes efficient and fidelity-based device selection a key challenge in multi-QPU environments. In this work, we propose a Graph Neural Network (GNN) model that exploits the structural representation of quantum circuits to predict their execution fidelity across different QPUs. By operating on uncompiled circuits, the approach supports earlystage device selection and enables making informed scheduling decisions. We evaluate the model on a diverse set of benchmark circuits compiled for superconducting and trapped-ion devices. The results show that the proposed approach outperforms existing baseline models, achieving 30% Mean Squared Error (MSE) and 20% Mean Absolute Error (MAE) reduction, and provides an effective basis for fidelity-based scheduling in heterogeneous HPC-quantum systems.

Fidelity-Aware Scheduling of Quantum Circuits on Multi-QPU Systems

A low-overhead fidelity-aware scheduling framework for multi-QPU systems based on a Graph Neural Network that estimates, before compilation, the expected fidelity of each circuit on each available QPU, and a tunable scheduler uses these estimates to control the trade-off between execution fidelity and parallelism.

Transpilation-Aware Runtime Prediction for Noisy Quantum Circuit Simulation

Results indicate that post-transpilation information is useful, while the value of explicit graph modeling depends on the backend and optimization level, and under backend-specific evaluation, the advantage of GNN decreases, with conventional regression models matching or outperforming the GNNs in several settings.
