Distributed quantum computing offers a path to scaling beyond the limits of individual quantum processors by connecting multiple quantum modules. In this work, researchers from memQ and Argonne National Laboratory compare 2 approaches to distributed computation: circuit cutting and entanglement-based gate teleportation.
The study identifies the hardware performance regimes in which remote quantum gates can match or outperform circuit cutting, particularly as circuit-cutting overhead grows with larger distributed computations. The results establish practical targets for quantum interconnect hardware and support a hybrid approach that combines quantum links with circuit cutting to enable scalable distributed quantum computing.
