Synthesis of Arbitrary Quantum Circuits to Topological Assembly: Systematic, Online and Compact

Description

It is challenging to transform an arbitrary quantum circuit into a form protected by topological quantum error correction, especially if the goal is to minimise overhead. One of the issues is the efficient placement of magic state distillation sub circuits, so-called distillation boxes, in the space-time volume that abstracts the computation's required resources. This work presents a general, systematic, online method for the synthesis of such circuits. Distillation box placement is controlled by so-called schedulers. The work introduces a greedy scheduler generating compact box placements. The implemented software, whose source code is available online, is used to illustrate and discuss synthesis examples. Synthesis and optimisation improvements are proposed.
