ZAC Compiler

Compilation for zoned architectures based on neutral atom arrays. Open source under the BSD 3-Clause license.

Logistics

• We recommend to run the compiler in a Python3 virtual environment.
• qiskit is used to parse QASM files and transpile circuits to the hardware-supported gates, i.e., CZ, U3.
• Install ffmpeg for animation generation

Repo structure

• run.py is an example of using the compiler on a circuit. Refer to python run.py -h for options.
• zac/ contains the source files implementing ZAC.
• exp_setting/ is the directory containing example of experimental setting. See exp_setting/README.md for more inforamtion.
• hardware_spec/ is the directory containing the example for zoned architecture specficiation. See hardware_spec/README.md for more inforamtion.
• benchmark/ is the directory containing the circuit examples from QASMBench.
• results/zac/ is the default directory for the results.
  • results/zac/code/ contains the ZAIR files generated from compilation results.
  • results/zac/animations/ contains animation generated from ZAIR.
  • results/zac/fidelity/ contains fidelity estimation based on code files.

How to use

• Run python run.py <S> where <S> is the json file for experimental setting.
