A quantum computing system receives a first qubit reservation request from a first quantum service, the first qubit reservation request identifying a first quantity of qubits. A first set of qubits equal in number to the first quantity of qubits is determined based on a qubit data structure that identifies a first plurality of qubits. The qubit data structure is altered to reserve the first set of qubits for the first quantum service. Qubit reservation information that identifies the first set of qubits is sent to the first quantum service.
