A QIR Toolchain with XACC

We present a work-in-progress to create a software toolchain that links the Quantum Intermediate Representation (QIR) to the hardware-agnostic execution framework XACC. The novelty of this work is an implementation of the QIR specification for use in the XACC framework by translating the QIR to an XACC intermediate representation (XIR) and then illustrating how this toolchain will be able to represent both quantum and classical computations. The anticipated impact includes the expansion of quantum programming languages that can be executed on quantum computing hardware and the utilization of QPU hardware agnostic properties of XACC framework.
