  • Publication number: 20220327412
    Abstract: Techniques for managing and compressing quantum output data (QOD) associated with quantum computing are presented. In response to receiving QOD from a quantum computer, a compressor component can compress QOD at first compression level to generate first compressed QOD, and can compress QOD at second compression level to generate second compressed QOD, the second compressed QOD can be less compressed than the first compressed QOD. Compressor management component (CMC) can determine whether first QOD includes sufficient data to enable it to be suitably processed by quantum logic. If so, CMC can allow first compressed QOD to continue to be sent to quantum logic and can discard second compressed QOD. If not sufficient, CMC can determine that second compressed QOD is to be processed by quantum logic. If CMC determines second compressed QOD does not include sufficient data, CMC can determine that the QOD is to be processed by quantum logic.

  • Patent number: 11308252
    Abstract: Techniques that combine quantum error correction and quantum error mitigation are used to simulate a fault-tolerant T-gate with low sampling overhead using the quasiprobability decomposition method. In some embodiments, the T-gate can be simulated using two logical bits and a magic state preparation that mitigates the need for magic state distillation and consequently has a low sampling overhead. Alternatively, the T-gate can be simulated based on code deformation performed on the surface code. Noise is removed from the T-gate using quasiprobability decomposition based on a learned logical error rate.

  • Patent number: 11194554
    Abstract: Systems and methods that can facilitate a quantum adaptive execution method based on previous quantum circuits and its intermediate results. This can generate an optimized adaptive compilation methodology for a specific backend and the previous quantum circuits dependents and thus redirect by the job dispatcher to the right quantum backend. Some of the quantum circuits can be dependent on other quantum circuits based on the intermediate results produced by the previous circuits. Hence, it is valuable that a system can manage the optimization of circuits based on its dependencies and by the results generated by the previous quantum circuits. In this way, the system can get an optimal result for a quantum circuit and inject it to the compiler unit to generate an adaptive compilation result. The resulted post-processing unit is the one in charge to apply this logic and manage the input/output of data to push it in the compiler units and the job dispatcher.
