METHOD FOR COMPILING A QUANTUM CIRCUIT ON A QUANTUM PROCESSOR WITH TRAPPED IONS

A method for compiling a quantum circuit on a trapped-ion quantum processor includes: obtaining a quantum circuit containing only a first predetermined category of two-qubit quantum gates, and/or one-qubit quantum gates; a step of compiling the quantum gates so that they only contain collective or entangling N-qubit quantum gates of a third predetermined category, one-qubit quantum gates of a fourth predetermined category, and so that all or at least some of those collective or entangling quantum gates simultaneously apply to at least three qubits, advantageously simultaneously apply to the majority of qubits, and even more advantageously simultaneously apply to all the qubits; and a step of grouping together the compiled quantum gates in a compiled quantum circuit.
