Original Kurzfassung:
Executing quantum circuits on currently available
quantum computers requires compiling them to a representation that conforms to all restrictions imposed by the targeted
architecture. Due to the limited connectivity of the devices?
physical qubits, an important step in the compilation process
is to map the circuit in such a way that all its gates are
executable on the hardware. Existing solutions delivering optimal
solutions to this task are severely challenged by the exponential
complexity of the problem. In this paper, we show that the
search space of the mapping problem can be limited drastically while still preserving optimality. The proposed strategies
are generic, architecture-independent, and can be adapted to
various mapping methodologies. The findings are backed by both,
theoretical considerations and experimental evaluations. Results
confirm that, by limiting the search space, optimal solutions can
be determined for instances that timeouted before or speed-ups
of up to three orders of magnitude can be achieved.
