Abstract
Quantum computing holds immense promise, capable of solving tasks that would baffle even the fastest conventional supercomputers over millennia. Despite remarkable strides in physically realizing quantum computers, there's a looming concern: the development of automated methods and software tools to facilitate the design and implementation of applications for these devices may struggle to keep pace with their advancement. This raises the unsettling prospect of possessing potent quantum computers but lacking the means to harness their potential effectively. The present focus of research revolves around two-level systems, known as qubits. However, the foundational technologies inherently support more than just two levels, referred to as qudits. Leveraging qudits unlocks richer gate sets, enhances performance, and enables the utilization of much more compact circuits. These advantages are noteworthy but not without challenges, both in terms of algorithm development and experimental control.
This presentation explores the pivotal role of design automation in addressing this critical issue. It includes an overview of cutting-edge software tools designed for multi-dimensional quantum computers, encompassing simulation, compilation, and resource allocation for handling qudit quantum circuits.
