A quantum computer consists of a set of quantum bits upon which operations called gates are applied to perform computations. In order to perform quantum algorithms, physicists would like to design arbitrary gates to apply to quantum bits. However, the physical limitations of the quantum computing device restrict the set of gates that physicists are able to apply. Thus, they must compose a sequence of gates from the permitted gate set, which approximates the gate they wish to apply - a process called quantum compiling. Austin Fowler proposes a method that finds optimal gate sequences in exponential time, but which is tractable for common problems. In this paper, I present several optimizations to this algorithm. While my optimizations do not improve its overall exponential behavior, they improve its empirical performance by one to two orders of magnitude.

Leveraging machine-learning (ML) techniques for compiler optimizations has been widely studied and explored in academia. However, the adoption of ML in general-purpose, industry strength compilers has yet to happen. We propose MLGO, a framework for i ntegrating ML techniques systematically in an industrial compiler -- LLVM. As a case study, we present the details and results of replacing the heuristics-based inlining-for-size optimization in LLVM with machine learned models. To the best of our knowledge, this work is the first full integration of ML in a complex compiler pass in a real-world setting. It is available in the main LLVM repository. We use two different ML algorithms: Policy Gradient and Evolution Strategies, to train the inlining-for-size model, and achieve up to 7% size reduction, when compared to state of the art LLVM -Oz. The same model, trained on one corpus, generalizes well to a diversity of real-world targets, as well as to the same set of targets after months of active development. This property of the trained models is beneficial to deploy ML techniques in real-world settings.
Currently available quantum computing hardware platforms have limited 2-qubit connectivity among their addressable qubits. In order to run a generic quantum algorithm on such a platform, one has to transform the initial logical quantum circuit descri bing the algorithm into an equivalent one that obeys the connectivity restrictions. In this work we construct a circuit synthesis scheme that takes as input the qubit connectivity graph and a quantum circuit over the gate set generated by ${text{CNOT},R_{Z}}$ and outputs a circuit that respects the connectivity of the device. As a concrete application, we apply our techniques to Googles Bristlecone 72-qubit quantum chip connectivity, IBMs Tokyo 20-qubit quantum chip connectivity, and Rigettis Acorn 19-qubit quantum chip connectivity. In addition, we also compare the performance of our scheme as a function of sparseness of randomly generated quantum circuits. Note: Recently, the authors of arXiv:1904.00633 independently presented a similar optimization scheme. Our work is independent of arXiv:1904.00633, being a longer version of the seminar presented by Beatrice Nash at the Dagstuhl Seminar 18381: Quantum Programming Languages, pg. 120, September 2018, Dagstuhl, Germany, slide deck available online at https://materials.dagstuhl.de/files/18/18381/18381.BeatriceNash.Slides.pdf.
When scheduling quantum operations, a shorter overall execution time of the resulting schedule yields a better throughput and higher fidelity output. In this paper, we demonstrate that quantum operation scheduling can be interpreted as a special type of job-shop problem. On this basis, we provide its formulation as Constraint Programming while taking into account commutation between quantum operations. We show that this formulation improves the overall execution time of the resulting schedules in practice through experiments with a real quantum compiler and quantum circuits from two common benchmark sets.
Quantum error correction is vital for implementing universal quantum computing. A key component is the encoding circuit that maps a product state of physical qubits into the encoded multipartite entangled logical state. Known methods are typically no t optimal either in terms of the circuit depth (and therefore the error burden) or the specifics of the target platform, i.e. the native gates and topology of a system. This work introduces a variational compiler for efficiently finding the encoding circuit of general quantum error correcting codes with given quantum hardware. Focusing on the noisy intermediate scale quantum regime, we show how to systematically compile the circuit following an optimising process seeking to minimise the number of noisy operations that are allowed by the noisy quantum hardware or to obtain the highest fidelity of the encoded state with noisy gates. We demonstrate our method by deriving novel encoders for logic states of the five qubit code and the seven qubit Steane code. We describe ways to augment the discovered circuits with error detection. Our method is applicable quite generally for compiling the encoding circuits of quantum error correcting codes.
Instruction scheduling is a key compiler optimization in quantum computing, just as it is for classical computing. Current schedulers optimize for data parallelism by allowing simultaneous execution of instructions, as long as their qubits do not ove rlap. However, on many quantum hardware platforms, instructions on overlapping qubits can be executed simultaneously through __global interactions__. For example, while fan-out in traditional quantum circuits can only be implemented sequentially when viewed at the logical level, global interactions at the physical level allow fan-out to be achieved in one step. We leverage this simultaneous fan-out primitive to optimize circuit synthesis for NISQ (Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum) workloads. In addition, we introduce novel quantum memory architectures based on fan-out. Our work also addresses hardware implementation of the fan-out primitive. We perform realistic simulations for trapped ion quantum computers. We also demonstrate experimental proof-of-concept of fan-out with superconducting qubits. We perform depth (runtime) and fidelity estimation for NISQ application circuits and quantum memory architectures under realistic noise models. Our simulations indicate promising results with an asymptotic advantage in runtime, as well as 7--24% reduction in error.
