1. A system, comprising:
a memory that stores computer executable components; and
a processor that executes at least one of the computer executable components that:
compiles a quantum program for execution on a group of nodes comprising two or more control nodes and two or more action nodes, wherein the two or more control nodes comprises respective classical computing resources, and the two or more action nodes comprise respective quantum computing resources, and wherein the compiling comprises determining a time length for a repeating interval based on a maximum predicted transfer time for transferring data along communication paths between nodes of the group of nodes; and
commonly sets and triggers a successively repeating time point corresponding to an interval boundary of the time length of the repeating interval at the group of nodes to align execution at the group of nodes of quantum tasks of the quantum program distributed across the group of nodes.
