OneAdapt: Adaptive Compilation for Resource-Constrained Photonic One-Way Quantum Computing

Abstract: Measurement-based quantum computing (MBQC), a.k.a. one-way quantum computing (1WQC), is a universal quantum computing model, which is particularly well-suited for photonic platforms. In this model, computation is driven by measurements on an entangled state, which serves as an intermediate representation (IR) between program and hardware. However, compilers on previous IRs lacks the adaptability to the resource constraint in photonic quantum computers. In this work, we propose a novel IR with new optimization passes. Based on this, it realizes a resource-adaptive compiler that minimizes the required hardware size and execution time while restricting the requirement for fusion devices within an adaptive limit. Moreover, our optimization can be integrated with Quantum Error Correction (QEC) to improve the efficiency of photonic fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC).
