Mapping quantum circuits to shallow-depth measurement patterns based on graph states — •Thierry Nicolas Kaldenbach1 and Matthias Heller2 — 1German Aerospace Center (DLR), Institute of Materials Research, Cologne, Germany — 2Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research IGD, Darmstadt, Germany
The paradigm of measurement-based quantum computing (MBQC) starts from a highly entangled resource state on which unitary operations are executed through adaptive measurements and corrections ensuring determinism. This is set in contrast to the more common quantum circuit model, in which unitary operations are directly implemented through quantum gates prior to final measurements. In this work, we incorporate concepts from MBQC into the circuit model to create a hybrid simulation technique, permitting us to split any quantum circuit into a classically efficiently simulatable Clifford-part and a second part consisting of a stabilizer state and local (adaptive) measurement instructions, a so-called standard form, which is executed on a quantum computer. We further process the stabilizer state with the graph state formalism, thus enabling a significant decrease in circuit depth for certain applications. We show that groups of fully commuting operators can be implemented using fully-parallel, i.e., non-adaptive, measurements within our protocol. Finally, we demonstrate the utility of our technique on two examples of high practical relevance: the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) and the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE).
