Hardware-aware Low-latency Quantum Compilation with Data-driven Lightweight Error Detection for Early Fault-Tolerant Systems
For early fault-tolerant quantum computing, this work provides a principled way to balance error detection overhead against success probability under latency constraints, addressing a key bottleneck in current NISQ-era compilation.
The paper presents an integrated hardware-aware compilation and data-driven quantum error-detection framework that jointly optimizes qubit mapping, SWAP insertion, and syndrome-schedule placement. On benchmarks up to 20 qubits, it improves algorithmic success probability by up to 68% over SABRE with post-selection.
Noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) processors are entering an early fault-tolerance regime where full quantum error correction carries prohibitive resource costs, yet lightweight error detection can meaningfully improve algorithmic success rates. Existing compilation and error-detection toolchains treat these concerns in isolation, with no principled way to balance detection overhead against success probability under latency constraints. We present an integrated hardware-aware compilation and data-driven quantum error-detection (QED) framework that jointly optimises qubit mapping, SWAP insertion, and syndrome-schedule placement via a noise-weighted cost function and a learned multi-objective scheduler. Simulation experiments on an HPC cluster using GPU-accelerated density-matrix simulation (NVIDIA cuQuantum SDK) across VQE, phase-estimation, and Grover benchmarks, three noise profiles, and circuit sizes of 6-20 qubits (depths 10-160), show that joint co-design raises algorithmic success probability by up to 68 percent (95 percent CI: 60 percent to 76 percent) over SABRE on an 8-qubit VQE instance with post-selection.
