Abstract

Effective and efficient resource allocation procedures are required for the proper integration of quantum resources in the field of cloud computing. This paper focuses on the application of the second price auction and Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) mechanism to allocate quantum resources within a cloud computing environment. Using this auction mechanism, the proposed model tackles the difficulty caused by the scarcity and complexity of the quantum resources while optimizing resource utilization and cost-effectiveness. Through a detailed mathematical formulation and using a system model, we focus the bidding, allocation, and payment processes under the second price auction using VCG mechanisms. We try to run simulations in order to evaluate its effectiveness with respect to the traditional resource allocation methods. The results we got from this auction demonstrate the efficiency of the model and user satisfaction. We gain knowledge of quantum cloud computing, and it gives us information about the implementation of the auction-based resource allocation mechanism in an actual quantum cloud environment.

Hybrid Quantum–Classical Optimization for Cloud Resource Allocation: A Scalable Framework for Energy–Efficient Computing

K. Kalpana, S. Kavitha, S. Chinnapparaj +3 more

Cloud computing has transformed modern digital infrastructure by enabling on-demand access to scalable computational resources. However, the increasing complexity of dynamic workloads and the need for efficient resource allocation present persistent challenges in maintaining performance, cost efficiency, and energy sustainability. This paper introduces a Quantum-Driven Optimization (QDO) framework, a hybrid quantum-classical approach designed to enhance cloud resource allocation by integrating quantum computing techniques with classical optimization methods. The proposed framework leverages Quantum Annealing (QA) and the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) to optimize resource distribution, minimizing energy consumption and operational costs while maximizing throughput and utilization efficiency. Experimental evaluations demonstrate that the QDO framework achieves a 27% improvement in resource utilization, a 34% reduction in operational costs, and a 21% enhancement in task completion time compared to traditional heuristic-based approaches. Additionally, the hybrid model reduces Service Level Agreement (SLA) violations by 18%, ensuring robust Quality of Service (QoS) for cloud users. The framework employs classical algorithms for preprocessing and decision-making while delegating complex optimization tasks to quantum solvers, ensuring scalability across diverse cloud environments. This study highlights the transformative potential of hybrid quantum-classical computing in addressing cloud resource allocation challenges. The results indicate significant improvements in energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and system responsiveness, making the QDO framework a viable solution for next-generation cloud infrastructures. Future research directions include extending the framework to multi-cloud architectures and investigating advanced quantum algorithms for further optimization gains.
