Even though the distributed systems can work with a much larger number of clients, as they have more computing power, in practice they are limited by the speed of traditional processors and classical encryption model protection. The provided paper describes a quantum-enabled model of cloud computing to facilitate the deployment of quantum processors within the framework of the infrastructure of distributed systems and also facilitates hybrid classical-quantum computing on the bundled runtime level. The proposed model employs quantum algorithms to optimize the optimization and speed up the performances of solving problems, improve security by using quantum-proven cryptographic, and distribute resources to the distributed nodes in the cloud computing system in an intelligent manner. Computational structure implies that it has a layered architecture that comprises of quantum processing units, cloud-level software coordination, and quantum communication protocols. Qiskit and cloud-native applications are used to test the model by simulation. Results indicate that the run time on complex optimization problems may be reduced by a maximum of 45 per cent, and the ability to provide more data security against quantum threat. Results provide a clue on the possible transformation quantum can impose on the next generation cloud-based distributed systems and transform continuous work and research to enable sustainable, secure and efficient infrastructures to maximize future computing.
