Divide and Conquer for Combinatorial Optimization and Distributed Quantum Computation

Understand

Scaling the size of monolithic quantum computer systems is a difficult task.

• As the number of qubits within a device increases, a number of factors contribute to decreases in yield and performance.
• To meet this challenge, distributed architectures composed of many networked quantum computers have been proposed as a viable path to scalability.
• Such systems will need algorithms and compilers that are tailored to their distributed architectures.
