Dynamic quantum circuits with mid-circuit measurement and classical feedforward are essential for near-term algorithms such as error mitigation, adaptive phase estimation, and Variational Quantum Eigensolvers (VQE), yet transpiling these programs across frameworks remains challenging due to inconsistent support for control flow and measurement semantics. We present a transpilation pipeline that converts OpenQASM 3.0 programs with classical control structures (conditionals and bounded loops) into optimized CUDA-Q C++ kernels, leveraging CUDA-Q's native mid-circuit measurement and host-language control flow to translate dynamic patterns without static circuit expansion. Our open-source framework is validated on comprehensive test suites derived from IBM Quantum's classical feedforward guide, including conditional reset, if-else branching, multi-bit predicates, and sequential feedforward, and on VQE-style parameterized circuits with runtime parameter optimization. Experiments show that the resulting CUDA-Q kernels reduce circuit depth by avoiding branch duplication, improve execution efficiency via low-latency classical feedback, and enhance code readability by directly mapping OpenQASM 3.0 control structures to C++ control flow, thereby bridging OpenQASM 3.0's portable circuit specification with CUDA-Q's performance-oriented execution model for NISQ-era applications requiring dynamic circuit capabilities.

The quantum computing community is increasingly positioning quantum processors as accelerators within classical HPC workflows, analogous to GPUs and TPUs. However, many real-world applications require scaling to hundreds or thousands of physical qubits to realize logical qubits via error correction. To reach these scales, hardware vendors employing diverse technologies -- such as trapped ions, photonics, neutral atoms, and superconducting circuits -- are moving beyond single, monolithic QPUs toward modular architectures connected via interconnects. For example, IonQ has proposed photonic links for scaling, while IBM has demonstrated a modular QPU architecture by classically linking two 127-qubit devices. Using dynamic circuits, Bell-pair-based teleportation, and circuit cutting, they have shown how to execute a large quantum circuit that cannot fit on a single QPU. As interest in quantum computing grows, cloud providers must ensure fair and efficient resource allocation for multiple users sharing such modular systems. Classical interconnection of QPUs introduces new scheduling challenges, particularly when multiple jobs execute in parallel. In this work, we develop a multi-programmable scheduler for modular quantum systems that jointly considers qubit mapping, parallel circuit execution, measurement synchronization across subcircuits, and teleportation operations between QPUs using dynamic circuits.
