Résumé
As the nascent field of quantum computing develops, an increasing number of quantum hardware modalities, such as superconducting electronic circuits, semiconducting spins, trapped ions, and neutral atoms, have become available for performing quantum computations. These quantum hardware modalities exhibit varying characteristics and implement different universal quantum gate sets that may e.g. contain several distinct two-qubit quantum gates. Adapting a quantum circuit from a, possibly hardware-agnostic, universal quantum gate set to the quantum gate set of a target hardware modality has a crucial impact on the fidelity and duration of the intended quantum computation. However, current quantum circuit adaptation techniques only apply a specific decomposition or allow only for local improvements to the target quantum circuit potentially resulting in a quantum computation with less fidelity or more qubit idle time than necessary. These issues are further aggravated by the multiple options of hardware-native quantum gates rendering multiple universal quantum gates sets accessible to a hardware modality. In this work, we developed a satisfiability modulo theories model that determines an optimized quantum circuit adaptation given a set of allowed substitutions and decompositions, a target hardware modality and the quantum circuit to be adapted. We further discuss the physics of the semiconducting spins hardware modality, show possible implementations of distinct two-qubit quantum gates, and evaluate the developed model on the semiconducting spins hardware modality. Using the developed quantum circuit adaptation method on a noisy simulator, we show the Hellinger fidelity could be improved by up to 40% and the qubit idle time could be decreased by up to 87% compared to alternative quantum circuit adaptation techniques.
