RL methods slash qubit allocation overhead in quantum compilation

Researchers have developed new reinforcement learning (RL) methods to address the qubit allocation problem in quantum computing compilation. Two distinct approaches, CO-MAP and QAP-Router, frame the problem as a combinatorial optimization or dynamic quadratic assignment task, respectively. Both methods leverage RL policies trained on real-world quantum circuit datasets, demonstrating significant reductions in SWAP gate overhead and CNOT gate counts compared to existing compilers. AI

    CO-MAP: A Reinforcement Learning Approach to the Qubit Allocation Problem

    A quantum compiler is a critical piece in the quantum computing pipeline since it allows an abstract quantum circuit to be run on a physical quantum computer. One extremely important subproblem in quantum compilation is the generation of a logical to physical qubit mapping. Typic…

    QAP-Router: Tackling Qubit Routing as Dynamic Quadratic Assignment with Reinforcement Learning

    Qubit routing is a fundamental problem in quantum compilation, known to be NP-hard. Its dynamic nature makes local routing decisions propagate and compound over time, making global efficient solutions challenging. Existing heuristic methods rely on local rules with limited lookah…
