This research introduces a platform-aware compilation framework that dynamically re-compiles quantum circuits to optimize resource estimates across diverse hardware modalities like photonics, superconducting, and neutral atom systems. By benchmarking fault-tolerant operations for chemistry simulations, the study demonstrates how architectural choices significantly impact physical qubit counts and runtime efficiency. The work advances practical quantum computing by enabling more accurate cross-platform comparisons before hardware deployment.
A Platform-aware Compilation Framework for Fault-tolerant Quantum Computation
arXiv:2609.08908v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The compilation of an algorithm can vary significantly with the choice of physical hardware platform and error correction model. Yet, current compilation frameworks typically commit to a single architecture-hardware configuration, making it difficult to assess resource estimates across platforms. We present a platform-aware compilation framework that re-compiles a quantum circuit into a hardware-compatible instruction set as well as fault-tolerant operations and provides end-to-end resource estimates in terms of physical-qubit count, time-to-solution, and classical processing time. We benchmark the framework by obtaining end-to-end resource estimates for different compilers, each tailored to the functionalities of specific hardware modalities: connectivity, clock speed, and noise model. As part of this framework, we introduce a transversal active volume (t-AV) compilation architecture designed for the efficient execution of fault-tolerant operations in platforms supporting long-range logical connectivity. We benchmark the framework for Hamiltonian simulation of the 2D Fermi Hubbard model as well as for eigenenergy estimation of a small molecule (trimethylenemethane) as a candidate for early fault-tolerant demonstration of quantum chemistry. For the latter, we show that end-to-end quantum simulations can be achieved with $\sim10^4$ physical qubits and runtimes ranging from $10^2$ ms (photonics, superconducting) to $10^5$ ms (neutral atoms).
