The power of quantum computers makes it possible to solve difficult problems more efficiently than is possible with traditional computers. Gate-model quantum computers provide an experimentally implementable architecture for quantum circuit computations. Here, we demonstrate an automated method for designing quantum circuits for experimental gate-model quantum computers. We define the Quantum Triple Annealing Minimization (QTAM) algorithm, which provides an automated quantum circuit minimization on the physical layout (circuit depth and area), quantum wire length minimization of the quantum circuit, Hamiltonian minimization, and the minimization of the input size and output measurements. We define a multilayer structure for quantum circuit computations using the hardware restrictions on the connection topology of gate-model quantum computers. The results can be straightforwardly applied to near term gate-model quantum computers.
Gate-model quantum computers, including IBM and IonQ, have gained considerable attention as backbones for implementing near-term quantum computer architectures and quantum devices. Their performances rely on circuit depths, whose minimization ensures optimal results and reduced noises. We develop an algorithm which rearranges the terms in the quadratics of the QUBO model and the Ising model, when implementing the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm for the Hamiltonian of a linear system. We test the algorithm on IBM quantum computer and IBM simulator to verify the effectiveness of our algorithm for minimizing circuit depths.
Gate-model quantum computers provide an experimentally implementable architecture for near-term quantum computations. To design a reduced quantum circuit that can simulate a high-complexity reference quantum circuit, an optimization should be taken on the number of input quantum states, on the unitary operations of the quantum circuit, and on the number of output measurement rounds. Besides the optimization of the physical layout of the hardware layer, the quantum computer should also solve difficult computational problems very efficiently. To yield a desired output system, a particular objective function associated with the computational problem fed into the quantum computer should be maximized. The reduced gate structure should be able to produce the maximized value of the objective function. These parallel requirements must be satisfied simultaneously, which makes the optimization difficult. Here, we demonstrate a method for designing quantum circuits for gate-model quantum computers and define the Quantum Triple Annealing Minimization (QTAM) algorithm. The aim of QTAM is to determine an optimal reduced topology for the quantum circuits in the hardware layer at the maximization of the objective function of an arbitrary computational problem.
Quantum computing is a new and advanced topic that refers to calculations based on the principles of quantum mechanics. It makes certain kinds of problems be solved easier compared to classical computers. This advantage of quantum computing can be used to implement many existing problems in different fields incredibly effectively. One important field that quantum computing has shown great results in machine learning. Until now, many different quantum algorithms have been presented to perform different machine learning approaches. In some special cases, the execution time of these quantum algorithms will be reduced exponentially compared to the classical ones. But at the same time, with increasing data volume and computation time, taking care of systems to prevent unwanted interactions with the environment can be a daunting task and since these algorithms work on machine learning problems, which usually includes big data, their implementation is very costly in terms of quantum resources. Here, in this paper, we have proposed an approach to reduce the cost of quantum circuits and to optimize quantum machine learning circuits in particular. To reduce the number of resources used, in this paper an approach including different optimization algorithms is considered. Our approach is used to optimize quantum machine learning algorithms for big data. In this case, the optimized circuits run quantum machine learning algorithms in less time than the original ones and by preserving the original functionality. Our approach improves the number of quantum gates by 10.7% and 14.9% in different circuits respectively. This is the amount of reduction for one iteration of a given sub-circuit U in the main circuit. For cases where this sub-circuit is repeated more times in the main circuit, the optimization rate is increased. Therefore, by applying the proposed method to circuits with big data, both cost and performance are improved.
Quantum computing faces challenges such as noise, short coherence time, and limited qubit connections. These challenges worsen as quantum circuits become more complex. One major issue is the increasing depth of quantum circuits. This research proposes an optimization framework targeting depth and gate count reduction in quantum circuits, specifically for Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices. The proposed approach combines unitary merging of single-qubit gates, CNOT cancellation, gate commuting, and rotation gate rewriting strategies. Consecutive gates acting on the same qubit, such asRx(θ1)⋅Rx(θ2), are algebraically merged into a single rotation, while pairs of redundant CNOT gates are eliminated based on gate identity relations. The technique is implemented using Qiskit and validated across five diverse circuits including complex, random, and multi-qubit configurations. Experimental results show an average depth reduction of 33.33% and gate count reduction of 32.14%, with runtime improvement of up to 25%. For instance, an input circuit with a depth of 7 and gate count of 11 was reduced to a depth of 2 and 4 gates. All optimized circuits preserve functional correctness with a fidelityF≥0.99. High-resolution circuit diagrams are presented to visually demonstrate improvements before and after optimization. Additionally, global phase shifts such aseiπ/4are preserved or analytically characterized where relevant. This work enhances the viability of quantum computations on near-term hardware and opens pathways for future AI-driven quantum optimizations.
