Abstract
A compiler for a gate-based superconducting quantum computer compiles hybrid classical/quantum algorithms for quantum processing cells with different configurations. The compiler inputs the algorithm and outputs code in a target language executable by a quantum processing cell of a quantum processing system that can execute the algorithm. The compiler includes various functionality, such as: parsing, analyzing control flows, addressing, compressing, and translating. The compiler optimizes algorithms in various manners using the functionality. Some optimizations include addressing efficiently, compressing based on simulations, and translating for efficient execution of parametric functions. The compiler may function in the environment of a cloud quantum computing system. The cloud quantum computing system may receive algorithms from remote access nodes for execution on local classical and quantum computing systems.
