Quantum Computer Architecture: Towards Full-Stack Quantum Accelerators

Understand

This paper presents the definition and implementation of a quantum computer architecture to enable creating a new computational device - a quantum computer as an accelerator.

• In this paper, we present explicitly the idea of a quantum accelerator which contains the full stack of the layers of an accelerator.
• Such a stack starts at the highest level describing the target application of the accelerator.
• The next layer abstracts the quantum logic outlining the algorithm that is to be executed on the quantum accelerator.
