Abstract

Qudit-based quantum computation offers unique advantages over qubit-based systems in terms of noise mitigation capabilities as well as algorithmic complexity improvements. However, the software ecosystem for multi-state quantum systems is severely limited. In this paper, we highlight a quantum workflow for describing and compiling qudit systems. We investigate the design and implementation of a quantum compiler for qudit systems. We also explore several key theoretical properties of qudit computing as well as efficient optimization techniques. Finally, we provide demonstrations using physical quantum computers as well as simulations of the proposed quantum toolchain.
