Abstract

A method for optimizing a quantum circuit is disclosured. The method comprises acquiring a representation of a quantum circuit comprising one or more qubits, transforming, by linear transformation, first Hamiltonian corresponding to the quantum circuit to generate modes, generating a third Hamiltonian by removing the free modes from a second Hamiltonian in which free modes are decoupled from non-free the second Hamiltonian, simulating a behavior of the quantum circuit using the third Hamiltonian, and adjusting a design of the quantum circuit based on the simulated behavior of the quantum circuit.
