Abstract

Many quantum computational tasks have inherent symmetries, suggesting a path to enhancing their efficiency and performance. Exploiting this observation, we propose representation matching, a generic probabilistic protocol for reducing the cost of quantum computation in a quantum network. We show that the representation-matching protocol is capable of reducing the communication or memory cost to almost the minimum in various tasks, including remote execution of unitary gate arrays, permutation gates, and unitary conjugation, as well as the storage and retrieval of unitary gates.

Distributed Quantum Computation with Minimum Circuit Execution Time over Quantum Networks

Ranjani G. Sundaram, Himanshu Gupta, C. R. Ramakrishnan

Present quantum computers are constrained by limited qubit capacity and restricted physical connectivity, leading to challenges in large-scale quantum computations. Distributing quantum computations across a network of quantum computers is a promising way to circumvent these challenges and facilitate large quantum computations. However, distributed quantum computations require entanglements (to execute remote gates) which can incur significant generation latency and, thus, lead to decoherence of qubits. In this work, we consider the problem of distributing quantum circuits across a quantum network to minimize the execution time. The problem entails mapping the circuit qubits to network memories, including within each computer since limited connectivity within computers can affect the circuit execution time. We provide two-step solutions for the above problem: In the first step, we allocate qubits to memories to minimize the estimated execution time; for this step, we design an efficient algorithm based on an approximation algorithm for the max-quadratic-assignment problem. In the second step, we determine an efficient execution scheme, including generating required entanglements with minimum latency under the network resource and decoherence constraints; for this step, we develop two algorithms with appropriate performance guarantees under certain settings or assumptions. We consider multiple protocols for executing remote gates, viz., telegates and cat-entanglements. With extensive simulations over NetSquid, a quantum network simulator, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our developed techniques and show that they outperform a scheme based on prior work by up to 95%.

Network-Assisted Collective Operations for Efficient Distributed Quantum Computing

Iago F. Llovo, Guillermo Díaz-Camacho, Natalia Costas +1 more

Distributed quantum computing relies on coordinated operations between remote quantum processing units (QPUs), yet most existing work either assumes full connectivity, unrealistic for large networks, or relies on entanglement swapping. To mitigate the overhead of communication, we propose a scheme for the distribution of collective quantum operations among remote quantum processing units by exploiting distributed fan-out operations to a central node in network architectures similar to those used for high-performance computing, which requires only pre-shared entanglement, local operations and classical communication. We show that a general diagonal gate can be distributed among any number of nodes and provide the ebit cost bounds. For a single distributed multicontrolled gate, this amounts to a single additional Bell pair over the theoretically optimal calculation with all-to-all pre-shared entanglement, demonstrating better scalability when compared to current proposals based on entanglement swapping through a network. We provide a recipe for the lumped distribution of gates such as arbitrarily-sized Toffoli and multicontrolled Z, and$R_{zz}(\theta)$gates. Finally, we provide an exact implementation of a distributed Grover's search algorithm using this protocol to partition the circuit, with Bell pair cost growing linearly with the number of Grover iterations and the number of partitions, and show how these techniques can be applied to other algorithms such as QAOA. Our results show that alternative approaches to entanglement swapping can provide major benefits in distributed quantum computing, pointing to promising avenues for future research.
