Study Notes

Problem 4: Compilation of Quantum Circuits

The problem considers a quantum computer architecture A with qubits Q0, Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, and Q5.
The architecture allows native interaction between certain pairs of qubits.

Native Interactions

The pairs of qubits that can natively interact on this architecture are: (1, 3), (2, 5), and (0, 2).

Mappable Circuits

The circuits that can be mapped to the architecture A without adding any SWAP gates are:
- Circuit with gates on q3, q2, q1, and q0.
- Circuit with gates on q2, q1, q0, and q3.

Circuit Mapping

To map a circuit to the architecture, an interaction graph is built out of all gates for each circuit, and then fitted to the architecture.
If a circuit cannot be perfectly mapped, an initial layout is chosen, and SWAP gates are inserted to satisfy the restricted connectivity.

Simplifying Quantum Circuits

The goal is to simplify a given quantum circuit G as much as possible using certain quantum circuit identities.
The identities include:
- I = HXH
- X = HYH
- Y = HZH
- Z = HXH
- SXS† = XSS†
- SYS† = YSY†
- SZS† = ZSZ†
The cost of realizing the circuit is calculated, with CNOT gates costing 10 and single-qubit gates costing 1.

Problem 5: Verification of Quantum Circuits

The problem involves verifying the equivalence of two circuits G and GÕ by showing that they act the same on all possible computational basis states.
The CNOT gate flips the state of the target qubit whenever the control qubit is in state |1Í.
