A quantum compiler software utilizing multi-qubit gates for improved performance, particularly in neutral-atom architectures
Background: Quantum computing technologies promise to leverage quantum effects such as entanglement to perform information processing tasks that are either too computationally costly for—or inaccessible to—a classical computer. However, the efficient compilation of quantum algorithms remains a significant bottleneck in realizing the full potential of quantum computers. Traditional quantum compilers are often optimized for two-qubit gate architectures, which may not be optimal for emerging quantum computing platforms that support multi-qubit operations. Neutral-atom quantum computers, in particular, offer unique capabilities for multi-qubit gates that are not fully exploited by existing compilation tools.
Technical Overview: GEYSER, a quantum compiler software, addresses precisely this bottleneck for the development of useful algorithms for neutral atom computers, as well as other platforms that support multi-qubit gates. The compiler is specifically designed to optimize quantum circuits for architectures that can perform multi-qubit operations efficiently. GEYSER analyzes quantum algorithms and automatically generates optimized gate sequences that take advantage of the unique capabilities of neutral-atom systems. The software includes advanced optimization techniques that can significantly improve circuit performance while reducing resource requirements.
