Quantum Cost Optimization Algorithm for Entanglement-based Asymmetric Quantum Error Correction

Abstract

The importance of reversible operations has been increasing day by day to overcome the drawbacks of irreversible computation. Quantum computers perform operations exponentially faster by taking advantage of reversible operations. Reversible operations play an essential role in developing energy and cost-efficient circuits. The efficiency of a quantum circuit is measured in terms of Quantum cost and Quantum depth. In this paper, we propose an optimization algorithm for Entanglement-based Quantum error correction, which plays a crucial role in various applications like quantum teleportation, secure communications, quantum key distribution, etc. We performed the experiments using Qiskit and RCViewer+ tools. Qiskit tool is used to run the quantum algorithms and measure the quantum depth; the RCViewer+ tool is used to measure the quantum cost. The proposed algorithm optimizes the quantum cost and depth compared to the existing approaches. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
