Compiling quantum algorithms for architectures with multi-qubit gates

Esteban A. Martinez, Thomas Monz, Daniel Nigg, Philipp Schindler, Rainer Blatt

Abstract

Quantum algorithms require a universal set of gates that can be implemented in a physical system. For these, an optimal decomposition into a sequence of available operations is desired. Here, we present a method to find such sequences for a small-scale ion trap quantum information processor. We further adapt the method to state preparation and quantum algorithms with in-sequence measurements.

    • See e.g. equations (5) and (6) from [1], where any qubit subset of a system might undergo the action of the M–S gate. But definitely the usual presentation of the physics of M–S is on a two qubit system. [1] https://arxiv.org/abs/1601.06819
