Online Scheduled Execution of Quantum Circuits Protected by Surface Codes

Understand

Quantum circuits are the preferred formalism for expressing quantum information processing tasks.

• Quantum circuit design automation methods mostly use a waterfall approach and consider that high level circuit descriptions are hardware agnostic.
• This assumption has lead to a static circuit perspective: the number of quantum bits and quantum gates is determined before circuit execution and everything is considered reliable with zero probability of failure.
• Many different schemes for achieving reliable fault-tolerant quantum computation exist, with different schemes suitable for different architectures.
