Approximate gate and supercontrolled unitary gate decompositions for two-qubit operations

摘要

Techniques are provided for improving quantum circuits. The technology includes approximately expanding, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, using zero to a number of applications of a super controlled basis gate, a target two-qubit operation, with the approximately expanding resulting in instances of the target two-qubit operation corresponding to the zero to the number of applications, and the target two-qubit operation is part of a source quantum circuit associated with a quantum computer. The system analyzes the instances and the super controlled basis gate, and automatically rewrites the source quantum circuit into a deployed quantum circuit based on the analyzing.
