A digitally controlled silicon quantum processing unit

Members of the HRL Quantum Team, Collaborators, : +255

Commercially-relevant quantum computers will require large numbers of high-performing qubits that can be manufactured, integrated, and controlled at scale. Silicon exchange-only (E…

An Open-Source, Industrial-Strength Optimizing Compiler for Quantum Programs

Robert S. Smith, Eric C. Peterson, Mark G. Skilbeck +1

Quilc is an open-source, optimizing compiler for gate-based quantum programs written in Quil or QASM, two popular quantum programming languages. The compiler was designed with atte…

A quantum-classical cloud platform optimized for variational hybrid algorithms

Peter J. Karalekas, Nikolas A. Tezak, Eric C. Peterson +3

In order to support near-term applications of quantum computing, a new compute paradigm has emerged--the quantum-classical cloud--in which quantum computers (QPUs) work in tandem w…

Fixed-Depth Two-Qubit Circuits and the Monodromy Polytope

Eric C. Peterson, Gavin E. Crooks, Robert S. Smith

For a native gate set which includes all single-qubit gates, we apply results from symplectic geometry to analyze the spaces of two-qubit programs accessible within a fixed number…

Unsupervised Machine Learning on a Hybrid Quantum Computer

J. S. Otterbach, R. Manenti, N. Alidoust +27

Machine learning techniques have led to broad adoption of a statistical model of computing. The statistical distributions natively available on quantum processors are a superset of…

A Practical Quantum Instruction Set Architecture

Robert S. Smith, Michael J. Curtis, William J. Zeng

We introduce an abstract machine architecture for classical/quantum computations---including compilation---along with a quantum instruction language called Quil for explicitly writ…
