Description
Summary:Abstract Quantum computers have already shown significant potential to solve specific problems more efficiently than conventional supercomputers. A major challenge towards noisy intermediate-scale quantum computing is characterizing and reducing the various control costs. Quantum programming describes the process of quantum computation as a sequence, whose elements are selected from a finite set of universal quantum gates. Quantum compilation translates quantum programs to ordered pulses to the quantum control devices subsequently and quantum compilation optimization provides a high-level solution to reduce the control cost efficiently. Here, we propose a high-performance compilation strategy for multiplexing quantum control architecture. For representative benchmarks, the utilization efficiency of control devices increased by 49.44% on average in our work, with an acceptable circuit depth expansion executing on several real superconducting quantum computers of IBM.
