A Hardware-Aware Heuristic for the Qubit Mapping Problem in the NISQ Era
A Hardware-Aware Heuristic for the Qubit Mapping Problem in the NISQ Era
Due to several physical limitations in the realisation of quantum hardware, today's quantum computers are qualified as Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) hardware. NISQ hardware is characterized by a small number of qubits (50 to a few hundred) and noisy operations. Moreover, current realisations of superconducting quantum chips do not have …
