Abstract:

In this talk, the Parity Architecture is explained, which allows to compile real world use cases to the concrete qubit chip layouts needed for solving the envisaged problem. The Parity transformation allows to tackle the connectivity problem resulting in local-only interactions, which are problem independent. The original problem is encoded in the local fields acting on single qubits making the QC chip easily programmable. It is demonstrated that the Parity Architecture allows to highly parallelize the quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) essentially eliminating crosstalk and enabling constant circuit depth algorithms. Benchmarks and specific use cases are presented. Finally, the involvement of ParityQC in the German QC ecosystem is outlined.
