• Abstract: Distributed quantum computing (DQC) holds immense promise in harnessing the potential of quantum computing by interconnecting multiple small quantum computers (QCs) through a quantum data network (QDN). Establishing long-distance quantum entanglement between two QCs for quantum teleportation within the QDN is a critical aspect, and it involves entanglement routing - finding a route between QCs and efficiently allocating qubits along that route. Existing approaches have mainly focused on optimizing entanglement performance for current entanglement connection (EC) requests. However, they often overlook the user's perspective, wherein the user making EC requests operates under a budget constraint over an extended period. Furthermore, both QDN resources (quantum channels and qubits) and the EC requests, reflecting the DQC workload, vary over time. In this paper, we present a novel user-centric entanglement routing problem that spans an extended period to maximize the entanglement success rate while adhering to the user's budget constraint. To address this challenge, we leverage the Lyapunov drift-plus-penalty framework to decompose the long-term optimization problem into per-slot problems, allowing us to find solutions using only the current system information. Subsequently, we develop efficient algorithms based on continuous-relaxation and Gibbs-sampling techniques to solve the per-slot entanglement routing problem. Theoretical performance guarantees are provided for both the per-slot and long-term problems. Extensive simulations demonstrate that our algorithm significantly outperforms baseline approaches in terms of entanglement success rate and budget adherence.
