Fullstack Quantum Compilation: Mind the Pulse Gap [QBE 2022]

In this talk, we discuss quantum compilation, the process in which the high-level quantum programming language is optimized and transformed into low-level instructions that control the underlying quantum machines. The compilation comprises several layers and algorithms, and we focus on the compilation from the logic gate level (e.g., OpenQASM) into a pulse-level language, such as QM’s QUA.
