AccQOC: Accelerating Quantum Optimal Control Based Pulse Generation

Abstract

In the last decades, we have witnessed the rapid growth of Quantum Computing. In the current Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) era, the capability of a quantum machine is limited by the decoherence time, gate fidelity and the number of Qubits. Current quantum computing applications are far from the real "quantum supremacy" due to the fragile physical Qubits, which can only be entangled for a few microseconds. Recent works use quantum optimal control to reduce the latency of quantum circuits, thereby effectively increasing quantum volume. However, the key challenge of this technique is the large overhead due to long compilation time. In this paper, we propose AccQOC, a comprehensive static/dynamic hybrid workflow to transform gate groups (equivalent to matrices) to pulses using QOC (Quantum Optimal Control) with a reasonable compilation time budget. AccQOC is composed of static pre-compilation and accelerated dynamic compilation. With the methodology of AccQOC, we reached a balanced point of compilation time and overall latency. The results show that accelerated compilation based on MST achieves 9.88x compilation speedup compared to the standard compilation of each group while maintaining an average 2.43x latency reduction compared with gate-based compilation.
