• Title: A QUBO Formulation for Qubit Allocation
• Authors: Bryan Dury, Olivia Di Matteo
• Abstract summary: present-day quantum computers have a limited number of qubits, connectivity constraints, and varying gate fidelities. In this work we formulate and implement the qubit placement problem as a quadratic, unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) problem and solve it using simulated annealing to obtain a spectrum of initial placements. Compared to contemporary allocation methods available in t|ket$rangle $ and Qiskit, the QUBO method yields allocations with improved circuit depth for $>$50% of a large set of benchmark circuits, with many also requiring fewer CX gates.

• Abstract: To run an algorithm on a quantum computer, one must choose an assignment from logical qubits in a circuit to physical qubits on quantum hardware. This task of initial qubit placement, or qubit allocation, is especially important on present-day quantum computers which have a limited number of qubits, connectivity constraints, and varying gate fidelities. In this work we formulate and implement the qubit placement problem as a quadratic, unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) problem and solve it using simulated annealing to obtain a spectrum of initial placements. Compared to contemporary allocation methods available in t|ket$\rangle $ and Qiskit, the QUBO method yields allocations with improved circuit depth for $>$50% of a large set of benchmark circuits, with many also requiring fewer CX gates.
