• Abstract summary: We develop a compiler, named 2QAN, to optimize quantum circuits for 2-local qubit Hamiltonian simulation problems. 2QAN can reduce the number of inserted SWAP gates by 11.5X, reduce overhead in hardware gate count by 68.5X, and reduce overhead in circuit depth by 21X.

• Abstract: Simulating quantum systems is one of the most important potential applications of quantum computers. The high-level circuit defining the simulation needs to be compiled into one that complies with hardware limitations such as qubit architecture (connectivity) and instruction (gate) set. General-purpose quantum compilers work at the gate level and have little knowledge of the mathematical properties of quantum applications, missing further optimization opportunities. Existing application-specific compilers only apply advanced optimizations in the scheduling procedure and are restricted to the CNOT or CZ gate set. In this work, we develop a compiler, named 2QAN, to optimize quantum circuits for 2-local qubit Hamiltonian simulation problems, a framework which includes the important quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA). In particular, we exploit the flexibility of permuting different operators in the Hamiltonian (no matter whether they commute) and propose permutation-aware techniques for qubit routing, gate optimization and scheduling to minimize compilation overhead. 2QAN can target different qubit topologies and different hardware gate sets. Compilation results on four applications (up to 50 qubits) and three quantum computers (namely, Google Sycamore, IBMQ Montreal and Rigetti Aspen) show that 2QAN outperforms state-of-the-art general-purpose compilers and application-specific compilers. Specifically, 2QAN can reduce the number of inserted SWAP gates by 11.5X, reduce overhead in hardware gate count by 68.5X, and reduce overhead in circuit depth by 21X. Experimental results on the Montreal device demonstrate that benchmarks compiled by 2QAN achieve the highest fidelity.
