Application: Optimized integrated circuit for quantum compilation and execution (Patent ID: US20240193451A1)
The patent filed by Intel Corp. describes an apparatus and method for compiling and executing hybrid classical-quantum programs. The apparatus includes a host processor that performs partial compilation on hybrid quantum-classical source code to generate sequential blocks of quantum operations. These operations are then optimized by a quantum compiler accelerator to enhance runtime execution and executed by a quantum execution accelerator to manipulate qubits and provide measurement data to the host processor. The apparatus components can be integrated on a single chip or processor package, and the optimized quantum operations are stored as executable instructions.
The method outlined in the patent involves performing partial compilation on hybrid quantum-classical source code, offloading compilation work to a quantum compiler accelerator, optimizing quantum operations based on a quantum accelerator architecture, and executing these optimized operations on a quantum execution accelerator. The method also includes integrating the host processor, quantum compiler accelerator, and quantum execution accelerator on a single chip or processor package, storing optimized quantum operations as executable instructions, and linking quantum and classical binaries to perform optimized quantum algorithms. The optimization operations involve generating additional operations, scheduling based on the quantum accelerator architecture, and decomposing operations into native instructions. The patent also includes a machine-readable medium with program code to perform the described operations when executed by a machine.
