QRMI: Middleware for First-Class Quantum Resources in Compute Infrastructures
Date:
I am giving this talk at the Open Compute Project EMEA Summit in the FTS Quantum track.
Time: Thursday, April 30, 2026, 15:45-16:00
Room: Level P1 - 118/119
Abstract:
Quantum processors are transitioning from laboratory systems to infrastructure components that must integrate into general-purpose data centers. Real adoption requires that QPUs be exposed as first-class resources alongside classical hardware for orchestration, observability and maintenance.
This talk introduces QRMI, an open, vendor-neutral, middleware designed to integrate quantum processors into heterogeneous infrastructure. Initiated from practical HPC integration efforts, QRMI exposes QPUs through interoperable interfaces aligned with existing resource management and scheduling models. The approach enables hybrid quantum-classical workflows without altering core operating paradigms.
We discuss architectural principles and lessons learned from integrating QPUs into production HPC environments. The objective is to move quantum hardware toward operational infrastructure readiness.
