Classical and quantum computers have achieved collaborative computation and completed applications across numerous fields. Nevertheless, the absence of a unified hybrid computation model has led to issues such as non-standardized engineering architecture design, ambiguous task partitioning criteria and so on. To address these issues, this research proposes a hybrid classical-quantum computation model (HTM). By constructing unified state sets and transition function representations, HTM clarifies hybrid control logic and implements a control-sharing mechanism. Simultaneously, a comprehensive complexity calculation method based on entanglement and superposition was proposed, supporting computation task partitioning and resource scheduling. The HTM fills a theoretical gap in the classical-quantum hybrid computation area and implements the joint promotion and development of computing models and hardware.
AI Summary
The paper addresses how to represent classical–quantum execution, control sharing, and resource accounting within a single computation model. It proposes a hybrid Turing machine (HTM) with classical and quantum tape tracks, two read/write heads, and a unified controller. A seven-tuple specification is supplemented by three functional layers for task decomposition, instruction-to-operation mapping, and state storage. Classical basis states are treated as a subset of quantum states, with unitary transitions proposed as the common operational description.
The complexity analysis classifies transformations by whether their initial and final states have entanglement and computational-basis superposition. It claims exponential time advantages for transformations between non-entangled states involving superposition, and exponential space advantages more generally, comparing physical qubits with explicit classical amplitude storage. These claims are illustrated through state-transformation examples rather than established through general simulation or lower-bound theorems.
A worked example expresses depth-$p=1$ QAOA for Max-Cut on a five-vertex cycle as controller transitions alternating quantum execution and classical parameter updates. Each circuit uses five Hadamards, ten CNOTs, five $R_z$ gates, and five $R_x$ gates. Assuming one quantum execution per iteration, the stated runtime is $O(K(|E|+n))$, with five quantum-track qubits and $O(1)$ classical words for this fixed instance.
The example explicitly excludes resource constraints and simplifies sampling and gradient-estimation costs. Hardware-integrated control protocols, interface refinement, and adaptive task-partitioning and scheduling algorithms are left for future work.
Central claim may not hold: HTM's formal definition mixes a finite controller-state set with continuously many quantum states and does not reconcile its deterministic, entirely unitary transitions with measurement and classical overwriting.
Table 4 implies polynomial-gate preparation of arbitrary entangled states from product inputs, contradicting the exponential bounded-arity circuit complexity of generic quantum states.
The claimed exponential advantage for product-state transformations comes from unnecessarily expanding classical amplitudes, while the QAOA comparison additionally overstates necessary simulation costs and omits shifted evaluations and sampling costs.
Table 2 incorrectly identifies CNOT with OR and uses that correspondence to justify compilation of classical control logic.
The claimed complexity-guided task partitioning and resource scheduling are not established because no operative allocation criterion or supporting evaluation is provided.

This article addresses the problem of constructing a distributed task management model in a hybrid quantum-classical computing environment. The relevance of this topic stems from the need for efficient distribution of computing resources in the face of limited availability of quantum devices and the high complexity of applied problems requiring quantum acceleration. A three-tier architecture of the hybrid system is proposed, with responsibilities divided between the task, control, and hardware infrastructure levels. Dispatching and adaptive scheduling principles are described, taking into account the specific features of variational quantum-classical algorithms, the stochastic nature of quantum computing, and the capacity limitations of quantum resources. A methodology for formalizing hybrid workflows, selecting optimality criteria, and synthesizing control rules is developed based on queuing theory, Markov processes, and multi-agent models.
Hybrid computing models, which integrate both classical and quantum systems, represent a promising frontier in enhancing computational power and efficiency. Classical computing systems, while highly efficient for a broad range of tasks, encounter significant limitations when addressing complex, large-scale problems such as optimization, cryptography, and molecular simulations. Quantum computing, on the other hand, offers exponential speedup for specific algorithms, particularly in areas like factorization, search, and simulation of quantum systems. However, quantum systems are not yet mature enough to replace classical systems entirely, due to issues like error rates, qubit coherence, and the need for cryogenic environments. As a result, hybrid models are emerging as the most viable solution, combining the strengths of both paradigms to tackle computationally intensive tasks more efficiently. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the development and application of hybrid computing models. It explores how these models leverage the parallel processing power of quantum systems while utilizing the robustness and data handling capabilities of classical systems. We discuss various architectures proposed for hybrid computing, focusing on their scalability, efficiency, and real-world applications across industries such as healthcare, finance, cryptography, and artificial intelligence. Additionally, we examine the challenges involved in integrating classical and quantum systems, including synchronization, resource management, and algorithm development. The paper concludes with future directions for hybrid computing, emphasizing the potential for these models to revolutionize fields that rely on high-performance computing by offering unprecedented computational capabilities. In summary, hybrid computing models stand at the intersection of classical and quantum technologies, providing a synergistic approach to solving some of the most challenging computational problems faced today.

As we enter the post-Moore era, we experience the rise of various non-von-Neumann-architectures to address the increasing computational demand for modern applications, with quantum computing being among the most prominent and promising technologies. However, this development creates a gap in current computer science curricula since most quantum computing lectures are strongly physics-oriented and have little intersection with the remaining curriculum of computer science. This fact makes designing an appealing course very difficult, in particular for non-physicists. Furthermore, in the academic community, there is consensus that quantum computers are going to be used only for specific computational tasks (e.g., in computational science), where hybrid systems - combined classical and quantum computers - facilitate the execution of an application on both quantum and classical computing resources. A hybrid system thus executes only certain suitable parts of an application on the quantum machine, while other parts are executed on the classical components of the system. To fully exploit the capabilities of hybrid systems and to meet future requirements in this emerging field, we need to prepare a new generation of computer scientists with skills in both distributed computing and quantum computing. To bridge this existing gap in standard computer science curricula, we designed a new lecture and exercise series on Hybrid Quantum-Classical Systems, where students learn how to decompose applications and implement computational tasks on a hybrid quantum-classical computational continuum. While learning the inherent concepts underlying quantum systems, students are obligated to apply techniques and methods they are already familiar with, making the entrance to the field of quantum computing comprehensive yet appealing and accessible to students of computer science.
