• Title: A Framework for the Design and Realization of Alternative Superconducting Quantum Architectures
• Abstract summary: Superconducting quantum hardware architectures have been designed by considering the physical constraints of the underlying physics. The corresponding design steps are hardly integrated yet and still rely heavily on manual labor. We propose a cohesive framework encapsulating the design flow of an application-specific quantum hardware architecture. The resulting framework integrates high-level architecture generation optimized for a quantum application, the physical layout of the architecture, as well as optimization of the layout in a methodical manner.

• Abstract: Superconducting quantum hardware architectures have been designed by considering the physical constraints of the underlying physics. These general-purpose architectures leave room for customization and optimization that can be exploited with alternative architectures specific to the quantum applications that will be executed on the quantum hardware. However, the corresponding design steps are hardly integrated yet and still rely heavily on manual labor. In this work, we provide a software framework that aims at providing a foundation to address this drawback. To this end, we first review the design of superconducting quantum hardware architectures and, afterwards, propose a cohesive framework encapsulating the design flow of an application-specific quantum hardware architecture. The resulting framework integrates high-level architecture generation optimized for a quantum application, the physical layout of the architecture, as well as optimization of the layout in a methodical manner. The framework with a reference implementation is available via https://github.com/cda-tum/dasqa under an open-source license.
