Compilation & Circuit Layout Optimisation For Superconducting Quantum Processor

牛津量子电路有限公司（OQC）成立于2017年6月，正在开发基于超导电路的量子计算处理器。OQC的一个基本业务问题是什么应用（量子算法）最适合它的技术，以及如何最有效地实现能够运行这些应用程序的第一代处理器，从而产生销售。该项目从两个角度解决了这一挑战；由剑桥量子计算有限公司（CQC）开发专用于OQC硬件架构的量子编译器，以及具有不同连接图的电路布局的原型开发和评估。这两个方向将与量子算法映射到OQC架构的评估相结合，为OQC研发的下一阶段发展提供明确的方向。

Oxford Quantum Circuits Limited (OQC), established in June 2017, are developing quantum computing processors based on superconducting circuits. A fundamental business question for OQC is what applications (quantum algorithms) are best suited for its technology, and how to most efficiently realise first generation processors that will be capable of running these applications, and hence generate sales. This project addresses this challenge from two angles; development by Cambridge Quantum Computing Limited (CQC) of a quantum compiler dedicated to the OQC hardware architecture, and prototype development and assessment of circuit layouts with differing connectivity maps. These two directions will be combined with assessment of mapping of quantum algorithms onto the OQC architecture to produce clear direction for OQC R&D in the next phase of its development.
