Summary: A queue layout of a graph consists of a linear order of its vertices, and a partition of its edges into queues, such that no two edges in the same queue are nested. In this paper, we show that the \(n\)-dimensional hypercube \(Q_n\) can be laid out using \(n - 3\) queues for \(n\geqslant 8\). Our result improves the previously known result for the case \(n\geqslant 8\).
