Compiling Error-Corrected Quantum Circuits under Hardware Constraints

Case ID:
UA26-154
Invention:

This technology is a method of finding the ideal hardware choices to execute a given quantum algorithm, by explicitly treating compilation within the framework of quantum error-correcting codes and logical operator equivalence in the special unitary group. Quantum hardware is noisy, and certain hardware combinations can be even more so. This technology introduces a systematic method to develop distinct, error-corrected circuits that are logically equivalent to circuits with connectivity or compilation problems. 

Background: 
Typically, connectivity problems in quantum hardware are addressed by incorporating qubit swap gates, which are expensive. This technology offers a different approach to reducing compilation errors by simply replacing poor-connectivity quantum circuits with logically equivalent circuits that adhere to hardware connectivity. 

Applications: 

  • Quantum computing
  • Quantum hardware
  • Error-corrected quantum circuits


Advantages: 

  • Reduces cost
  • Systematic technique
  • Improving feasibility on constrained quantum hardware
