PROCESSOR AND INSTRUCTION SET FOR FLEXIBLE QUBIT CONTROL WITH LOW MEMORY OVERHEAD

Abstract:

Apparatus and method for specifying quantum operations such as qubit rotations in a quantum instruction. For example, one embodiment of an apparatus comprises: a quantum instruction processing pipeline to process a quantum instruction having one or more opcodes to specify quantum operations and one or more operands and/or fields to specify values to be used to perform the quantum operations; a quantum waveform synthesizer to synthesize a waveform to control a qubit based on the values specified by the operands and/or fields of the quantum instruction.
