• Authors: Giacomo Nannicini, Lev S Bishop, Oktay Gunluk, Petar Jurcevic
• Abstract summary: We consider the problem of mapping a logical quantum circuit onto a given hardware with limited two-qubit connectivity. We model this problem as an integer linear program, using a network flow formulation with binary variables. We consider several cost functions: an approximation of the fidelity of the circuit, its total depth, and a measure of cross-talk.

• Abstract: We consider the problem of mapping a logical quantum circuit onto a given hardware with limited two-qubit connectivity. We model this problem as an integer linear program, using a network flow formulation with binary variables that includes the initial allocation of qubits and their routing. We consider several cost functions: an approximation of the fidelity of the circuit, its total depth, and a measure of cross-talk, all of which can be incorporated in the model. Numerical experiments on synthetic data and different hardware topologies indicate that the error rate and depth can be optimized simultaneously without significant loss. We test our algorithm on a large number of quantum volume circuits, optimizing for error rate and depth; our algorithm significantly reduces the number of CNOTs compared to Qiskit's default transpiler SABRE, and produces circuits that, when executed on hardware, exhibit higher fidelity.

  This work focuses on multi-qubit pathfinding as a critical subroutine within the quantum circuit compilation mapping problem. We introduce an algorithm, modelled using binary integer linear programming, that navigates qubits on quantum hardware optimally with respect to circuit SWAP-gate depth. We have benchmarked the algorithm across a variety of quantum hardware layouts, assessing properties such as computational runtimes, solution SWAP depths, and accumulated SWAP-gate error rates.

  In quantum computing the decoherence time of the qubits determines the computation time available. We propose a practical formulation of a divide and conquer algorithm that produces quantum circuits that are twice as shallow as those produced by existing algorithms. Overall, we manage to consistently reduce the total depth of a class of reversible functions, with up to 92% savings in an ancilla-free case and up to 99% when ancillary qubits are available.

  We quantify scaling of the expected resource requirements by optimized circuits for hardware architectures with varying levels of connectivity. We show the number of measurements, and hence total time to synthesizing solution, grows exponentially in problem size and problem graph degree. These problems may be alleviated by increasing hardware connectivity or by recently proposed modifications to the QAOA that achieve higher performance with fewer circuit layers.

  Mixed precision quantization takes advantage of hardware's multiple bit-width arithmetic operations to unleash the full potential of network quantization. We propose to optimize a proxy metric, the concept of networkity, which is highly correlated with the loss of the integer programming. This approach reduces the search time and required data amount by orders of magnitude, with little compromise on quantization accuracy.
