Distributed Quantum Computing (DQC) is emerging as a necessary response to the physical limits of scaling quantum hardware.
But beyond the engineering and physics challenges lies a deeper set of theoretical computer science problems.
This post explores key barriers to distributing quantum computation across multiple devices, including how we model and mitigate communication noise,
formalize hybrid classical-quantum coordination, and decompose quantum workloads algorithmically and structurally.
From algorithm-level partitioning to model-level abstraction,
DQC forces us to rethink core computational assumptions—making it not just a hardware problem, but a fundamentally new class of computing problem.
