• Abstract: Neutral atoms have emerged as a promising technology for implementing quantum computers due to their scalability and long coherence times. However, the execution frequency of neutral atom quantum computers is constrained by image processing procedures, particularly the assembly of defect-free atom arrays, which is a crucial step in preparing qubits (atoms) for execution. To optimize this assembly process, we propose a novel quadrant-based rearrangement algorithm that employs a divide-and-conquer strategy and also enables the simultaneous movement of multiple atoms, even across different columns and rows. We implement the algorithm on FPGA to handle each quadrant independently (hardware-level optimization) while maximizing parallelization. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first hardware acceleration work for atom rearrangement, and it significantly reduces the processing time. This achievement also contributes to the ongoing efforts of tightly integrating quantum accelerators into High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems. Tested on a Zynq RFSoC FPGA at 250 MHz, our hardware implementation is able to complete the rearrangement process of a 30$\times$30 compact target array, derived from a 50$\times$50 initial loaded array, in approximately 1.0 $\mu s$. Compared to a comparable CPU implementation and to state-of-the-art FPGA work, we achieved about 54$\times$ and 300$\times$ speedups in the rearrangement analysis time, respectively. Additionally, the FPGA-based acceleration demonstrates good scalability, allowing for seamless adaptation to varying sizes of the atom array, which makes this algorithm a promising solution for large-scale quantum systems.

• Efficient algorithms to solve atom reconfiguration problems. II. The assignment-rerouting-ordering (aro) algorithm [51.02512563152503]
  atom reconfiguration problems require solving an atom problem quickly and efficiently. A typical approach to solve atom reconfiguration problems is to use an assignment algorithm to determine which atoms to move to which traps. This approach does not optimize for the number of displaced atoms nor the number of times each atom is displaced. We propose the assignment-rerouting-ordering (aro) algorithm to improve the performance of assignment-based algorithms in solving atom reconfiguration problems.

  We numerically quantify the performance of the red-rec algorithm, both in the absence and in the presence of loss. We show that the number of traps required to prepare a compact-centered configuration of atoms on a grid with a mean success probability of one half scales as the 3/2 power of the number of desired atoms. The red-rec algorithm admits an efficient implementation that can readily be deployed on real-time control systems.
