Abstract

Quantum computing is a rapidly evolving field, with almost every aspect open to change or improvement. This includes moving from using a single quantum processing unit to interconnecting multiple quantum processing units (or several of them), establishing a new paradigm called distributed quantum computing and increasing the overall computing capability. Some research is already underway in this area to prepare the ground for an eventual architecture with these characteristics. This is the case of InQuIR (Nishio and Wakizaka in arXiv:2302.00267 2023) and NetQASM (Dahlberg et al in QST 7:035023 2022), two languages developed for distributed quantum computing. This paper presents the development of the InQASM compiler with the aim of translating code from the InQuIR language to NetQASM, establishing a compilation stack for the new distributed paradigm. An example of this compilation and a simulation of the compiled code are shown to showcase it.
