memQ Open-Sources Industry-First Modality-Agnostic Distributed Quantum Compiler (memQ DQC)

memQ Open-Sources Industry-First Modality-Agnostic Distributed Quantum Compiler (memQ DQC) Quantum networking technology developer memQ Inc. has publicly released its Distributed Quantum Compiler (memQ DQC) as an open-source toolchain on GitHub. Spun out from the University of Chicago, the startup introduced the modality-agnostic software framework to provide scale-out deployment capabilities across multi-vendor, heterogeneous quantum processing unit (QPU) networks connected via optical quantum channels. The open-source release aligns with U.S. federal technology directives, including Executive Order 14413 issued in June 2026, which instructs government agencies to establish operational frameworks for quantum networking and distributed quantum computing architectures. By converting standard monolithic circuits into network-optimized OpenQASM execution graphs, memQ DQC enables developers, system integrators, and researchers to model multi-QPU execution, evaluate entanglement generation rates, and analyze resource trade-offs without requiring manual low-level quantum network programming. The modular compiler toolchain incorporates an interactive Quantum Network Constructor (QNC) that models arbitrary inter-QPU topologies (chain, ring, hub, grid, all-to-all) alongside intra-QPU physical qubit layouts. The compiler manages cross-processor dependencies by dynamically inserting state teleportation operations (qubit relocation) and gate teleportation primitives (Cat-Entangler and Cat-Disentangler protocols). Integrated discrete-event schedulers simulate heralded photon arrivals to generate time-resolved execution schedules under realistic physical hardware constraints, such as gate durations, decoherence times, and link entanglement generation rates.

The study demonstrated that compiler selection must be tightly coupled to target hardware topology; for example, changing intra-QPU connectivity assumptions from all-to-all to nearest-neighbor increased EPR-pair consumption by over 10× on an 18-qubit QFT circuit, while contention-aware link scheduling reduced overall execution makespans by ~18%.
