Abstract

The technology disclosed describes a Quantum Utility Exchange (QUE) framework for managing and trading Quantum Utility Exchange Traded Resources (QU-ETRs). Providers define quantum resource packages (with time windows, usage limits, and resource specifications) and list them in a Recorded Database. Entities granted usage rights can trade these packages on the QUE through buy, sell, swap, or bid transactions, with all ownership transfers recorded and expired/consumed packages delisted. A Pending Database supports offers to buy or sell, searchable with AI/ML tools. The exchange uses secure blockchain-based communications, encrypted private tunnels, and verification processes to ensure integrity. Interfaces for providers and consumers enable package submission, searching, bidding, and downloading through a networked computer system. QU-ETRs can be traded under flexible contract types (“buy now-use now/later” or swaps), with transaction, validation, and alert mechanisms built into the system. Overall, the method establishes a secure, structured marketplace for allocating and exchanging quantum computing resources.
