ConAD-QC: Construction of Advanced Dynamic Quantum Circuits: Towards Resource Optimization and Fidelity Improvement

• Applicants: Professor Dr. Rolf Drechsler; Dr. Abhoy Kole, Ph.D.
• Subject Area: Computer Architecture, Embedded and Massively Parallel Systems
• Term: since 2025
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 559888852

The goal of this project is to explore efficient synthesis approaches exploiting dynamic quantum circuit that enables realization of quantum circuits with reduced resource overhead in terms of gates, qubits and overall circuit depth to simulate them with higher operational fidelity in both monolithic or distributive computing environments. More specifically, in this project we will focus our investigation to find answers to the following questions: (i) What will be the design trade-off for the considered computing platforms which are composed of one or more Quantum Processing Units (QPUs) with fixed number of qubits, restrictions imposed on 2-qubit gates, availability of quantum networks and noise characteristics? (ii) How efficiently do we obtain the semi-classical DQC realization of arbitrarily large quantum operations using small number of qubits while retaining their operational correctness and simulation fidelity on a considered Near-Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) computing platform? (iii) How do we leverage AI and machine learning techniques to automate and improve the design and optimization of dynamic semi-classical quantum circuits?
