Abstract

A method for efficient scheduling of hybrid classical-quantum workflows is presented, based on standard tools available on common supercomputer systems. Moderate interventions by the user are required, such as splitting a monolithic workflow in to basic building blocks and ensuring the data flow. This bares the potential to significantly reduce idle time of the quantum resource as well as overall wall time of co-scheduled workflows. Relevant pseudo-code samples and scripts are provided to demonstrate the simplicity and working principles of the method.
