METHOD FOR COMPILING A QUANTUM CIRCUIT ON A TRAPPED-ION QUANTUM PROCESSOR

A method for compiling a quantum circuit on a trapped-ion quantum processor includes: obtaining a quantum circuit containing a first predetermined category of two-qubit quantum gates, and/or one-qubit quantum gates; a separation of the quantum circuit into local layers, and entangling layers; compiling the local layers; compiling the entangling layers, separate from the step of compiling the local layers, transforming the quantum gates of those entangling layers so that they contain only collective or entangling N-qubit quantum gates of a third predetermined category, one-qubit quantum gates of a fourth predetermined category; and a step of grouping together the compiled local layers and the compiled entangling layers into a compiled quantum circuit.
