COMPILATION OF HYBRID QUANTUM COMPUTING PROGRAMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240028943 titled 'COMPILATION OF HYBRID QUANTUM COMPUTING PROGRAMS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system, method, and computer program product for optimizing quantum computer programs using multi-level intermediate representations. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • An intermediate representation of a high-level quantum program written in a high-level programming language is determined.
  • An optimized version of the intermediate representation is generated using optimization transformations.
  • The optimization transformations can be associated with an intermediate numerical representation or an intermediate quantum representation.
  • The optimized versions of the intermediate representations can be used to generate a compiled quantum program.
  • The compiled quantum program can be executed by quantum hardware and/or a quantum simulator.

Potential Applications:

  • Quantum computing: This technology can be applied in the field of quantum computing to optimize quantum computer programs, improving their efficiency and performance.
  • Quantum simulation: The optimized quantum programs can be used in quantum simulators to simulate the behavior of quantum systems, enabling researchers to study and analyze complex quantum phenomena.

Problems Solved:

  • Inefficient quantum programs: This technology addresses the problem of inefficient quantum programs by providing optimization transformations that improve the performance of quantum computer programs.
  • Resource utilization: By optimizing the quantum programs, this technology helps in better utilization of quantum hardware resources, reducing the computational overhead.
