Fast Swapping in a Quantum Multiplier Modelled as a Queuing Network

Abstract

Predicting the optimum SWAP depth of a quantum circuit is useful because it informs the compiler about the amount of necessary optimization. Fast prediction methods will prove essential to the compilation of practical quantum circuits. In this paper, we propose that quantum circuits can be modeled as queuing networks, enabling efficient extraction of the parallelism and duration of SWAP circuits. To provide preliminary substantiation of this approach, we compile a quantum multiplier circuit and use a queuing network model to accurately determine the quantum circuit parallelism and duration. Our method is scalable and has the potential speed and precision necessary for large scale quantum circuit compilation.
