Original Kurzfassung:
The recent advances in the physical realization of
Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) computers have motivated research on design automation that allows users to execute
quantum algorithms on them. Certain physical constraints in
the architectures restrict how logical qubits used to describe the
algorithm can be mapped to physical qubits used to realize the
corresponding functionality. Thus far, this has been addressed
by inserting additional operations in order to overcome the
physical constrains. However, all these approaches have taken
the existing architectures as invariant and did not explore the
potential of changing the quantum architecture itself - a valid
option as long as the underlying physical constrains remain
satisfied. In this work, we propose initial ideas to explore this
potential. More precisely, we introduce several schemes for the
generation of alternative coupling graphs (and, by this, quantum
computing architectures) that still might be able to satisfy
physical constraints but, at the same time, allow for a more
efficient realization of the desired quantum functionality.
