Riverlane Tutorial
Quantum error correction entails research and engineering challenges at various levels of abstraction, ranging from logical “QEC-agnostic” quantum circuits to hardware optimisations. Researchers in quantum computing often only care about a handful of different levels of abstractions but are forced to engage with abstraction levels outside their expertise to complete their research.\nIn this tutorial, I will successively put myself in the shoes of various researchers in quantum computing, from quantum algorithm designers to QEC code developers, and show how each of these people, even if their work is substantively different, can benefit from an open-source, easily extensible, compilation infrastructure for QEC. I will give practical examples of optimisations that are made possible and trivial to test and integrate with a full compilation pipeline in the setting of deltakit-compile, the new open-source QEC compiler from Riverlane.\nAttendees will leave with an understanding of how they could benefit from an open-source compiler to speed up their research and focus on what matters to them.
