The article compares two quantum circuit compression techniques, QMill and Haiqu, analyzing the trade-off between maintaining high fidelity (exactness) versus maximizing compression for Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) hardware. It concludes that while QMill preserves near-perfect quantum states, Haiqu's slight approximation allows for running significantly larger circuits on current noisy devices without error mitigation. This comparison is central to optimizing practical quantum algorithms for today's limited hardware constraints.
QMill Exactness vs Haiqu Approximation

“Haiqu vs QMill for Circuit Compression” left an open question. For the most part, Haiqu compresses your quantum circuits more. So much so, in fact, that you can run surprisingly large circuits on today’s noisy hardware and see correct solutions. But QMill was cooperative, so instead of making it...
