Fidelity-Aware Scheduling of Quantum Circuits on Multi-QPU Systems

High Performance Computing-Quantum Computing (HPCQC) platforms expose multiple Quantum Processing Units (QPUs) that may differ in size, topology, native gates, and noise characteristics. For current noisy devices, errors compound along the compiled circuits quickly, and minimizing them, that is, maximizing the circuits' execution fidelity, is essential for reliable results. Fidelity depends on the compilation to a specific target device: the same high-level circuit may produce different executables and, therefore, different expected fidelities across QPUs. We present a low-overhead fidelity-aware scheduling framework for multi-QPU systems based on a Graph Neural Network (GNN) that estimates, before compilation, the expected fidelity of each circuit on each available QPU. Then, a tunable scheduler uses these estimates to control the trade-off between execution fidelity and parallelism. Results show that this framework allows for approximating an exhaustive fidelity-based assignment, saving computational resources compared to a brute-force approach that compiles each circuit on every device.

MCMit: Hardware-Software Co-Design for Mid-Circuit Measurement Error Mitigation

Distributed Quantum Computing (DQC) and Quantum Error Correction (QEC) rely on dynamic circuits that include Mid-Circuit Measurements (MCMs) and classical feedback. These operations present a major bottleneck: MCMs suffer from high error rates that lead to real-time branching errors, while MCM and classical feedback latencies amplify decoherence errors. Current hardware controllers, qubit-state discriminators, and software error mitigation techniques fail to address these challenges holistically. We propose MCMit, a hardware-software co-design to mitigate branching and latency-induced errors. MCMit introduces a scalable, constant-latency multi-control branch instruction for faster classical feedback and two qubit-state discriminators, a transformer, and a CNN, with high accuracy even under short measurement durations. On the software side, static MCM elimination and stochastic branching complement the hardware by mitigating residual branching errors that persist despite hardware improvements. We implement MCMit on Qubic and evaluate it using experimentally extracted QPU readout traces. Our branch instruction reduces feedback latency by up to 70\%, improving circuit depths by up to $7\times$ over Qubic. Our CNN discriminator achieves up to 62\% higher accuracy for short measurement durations than the baselines, driving $1.2-9.4\times$ lower logical error rates in QEC. Last, our software mitigation improves fidelity by 18--30\% over baseline methods in DQC workloads.

Branch-Aware Quantum Constant Propagation for Dynamic Quantum Circuits

Compile-time optimization is important for improving the efficiency and reliability of quantum circuits on current noisy hardware. While many existing methods simplify circuits using structural patterns or quantum-state information, most of them target only unitary circuits and do not support dynamic circuits with mid-circuit measurements and classical feedforward. In this work, we present Branch-Aware Quantum Constant Propagation (BQCP), a compile-time analysis for dynamic circuits. BQCP extends Quantum Constant Propagation (QCP) by tracking the classical information produced by mid-circuit measurements together with the corresponding post-measurement quantum states across different execution branches. This enables path-sensitive reasoning inside conditional blocks and more precise information propagation than QCP. To keep the analysis scalable, we bound both the size of the quantum-state representation and the number of tracked branches. Using the information inferred by the analysis, we apply semantics-preserving simplifications to circuit operations. We prove the soundness of both the analysis and the simplifications. Experimental results on both application-driven and synthetic benchmarks show that, on dynamic circuits, our method consistently achieves larger reductions than other existing passes including QCP.

Compile-Time Simplification of Classically Controlled Operations in Dynamic Circuits

Dynamic circuits use real-time outcomes of mid-circuit measurements, processed by a classical controller, to adapt subsequent operations during circuit execution. This additional flexibility over static circuits comes at a price. Mid-circuit measurements are typically slower and noisier than unitary gates. Furthermore, classical feedforward requires exchanging information between the quantum processor (QPU) and the classical controller, introducing latency that erodes the practical performance of dynamic circuits. We propose a compile-time optimization framework that reduces the use of classical controls in dynamic circuits while preserving their semantics. At its core, the framework uses a static analysis that symbolically executes the circuit by propagating classical information alongside the quantum state. By combining this classical-quantum information with the Probabilistic Circuit Model extended with probabilistic controls that emulate classical feedforward, we obtain an intermediate probabilistic representation of the dynamic circuit. In this representation, mid-circuit measurements and classically controlled operations can be removed or rewritten as purely unitary operations and probabilistic components. Compared to existing compile-time optimizations that target only mid-circuit measurements, our method applies to a broader class of dynamic circuits expressible in modern quantum programming languages. We evaluated our framework on randomly generated dynamic circuits, achieving about 50% classical feedforward reduction and even higher reductions in favorable settings.

Optimization Framework for Reducing Mid-circuit Measurements and Resets

The paper addresses the optimization of dynamic circuits in quantum computing, with a focus on reducing the cost of mid-circuit measurements and resets. We extend the probabilistic circuit model (PCM) and implement an optimization framework that targets both mid-circuit measurements and resets. To overcome the limitation of the prior PCM-based pass, where optimizations are only possible on pure single-qubit states, we incorporate circuit synthesis to enable optimizations on multi-qubit states. With a parameter $n_{pcm}$, our framework balances optimization level against resource usage.We evaluate our framework using a large dataset of randomly generated dynamic circuits. Experimental results demonstrate that our method is highly effective in reducing mid-circuit measurements and resets. In our demonstrative example, when applying our optimization framework to the Bernstein-Vazirani algorithm after employing qubit reuse, we significantly reduce its runtime overhead by removing all of the resets.

Reducing Mid-Circuit Measurements via Probabilistic Circuits

Mid-circuit measurements and measurement-controlled gates are supported by an increasing number of quantum hardware platforms and will become more relevant as an essential building block for quantum error correction. However, mid-circuit measurements impose significant demands on the quantum hardware due to the required signal analysis and classical feedback loop. This work presents a static circuit optimization algorithm that can substitute some of these measurements with an equivalent circuit with randomized gate applications. Our method uses ideas from constant propagation to classically precompute measurement outcome probabilities. Our proposed optimization is efficient, as its runtime scales polynomially on the number of qubits and gates of the circuit.
