• Abstract: Trapped-ion quantum computers exhibit promising potential to provide platforms for high-quality qubits and reliable quantum computation. The Quantum Charge Coupled Device (QCCD) architecture offers a modular solution to enable the realization of scalable quantum computers, paving the way for practical quantum algorithms with large qubit numbers. Within these devices, ions can be shuttled (moved) throughout the trap and through different dedicated zones, e.g., a memory zone for storage and a processing zone for the actual computation. However, due to the decoherence of the ions' quantum states, the qubits lose their quantum information over time. Thus, the required time steps of shuttling operations should be minimized. In this paper, we propose a heuristic approach to finding an efficient shuttling schedule, which orchestrates the movement operations within the device. Given a quantum algorithm and a device architecture, the proposed algorithm produces shuttling schedules with a close-to-minimal amount of time steps for small-size QCCD architectures. Furthermore, even for large-scale QCCD devices, the empirical evaluation shows promising results with respect to the quality of the solution as well as performance.
