A Computer Aided Design Tool for NISQ Logic Synthesis

Computed Aided Design (CAD) is essential to synthesize noisy intermediate scale quantum (NISQ) information and communication systems. The prevailing model for NISQ systems is gate-based and uses logical components arranged into a circuit to represent different quantum operations. A CAD Tool for Quantum Logic is proposed to synthesize gate-based NISQ circuits for computing, communication, or sensing by supplying designers with parameterized versions of common quantum algorithms as well as a design space for simulating photonics hardware implementations. Available in a software package called the CADTQL, designers can test their conventional and optical quantum logic configurations and realize more efficient designs.
