Dynamically Programming Quantinuum's Trapped Ion Quantum Processor with a Pythonic Quantum-Classical Language

The quantum computing field is seeing increased interest in applications requiring dynamic capabilities, such as the ability to perform classical logic at realtime, conditional operations on the outcomes of midcircuit measurements, and dynamic reallocation of unused qubits. Growing numbers of qubits and programmatic complexity also necessitate easy-to-use data structures and control flow tools. This drives development of quantum computing hardware and quantum programming languages that can support these needs. I will describe Quantinuum's efforts to enable dynamic programming on our next generation of trapped ion hardware. Our quantum charge-coupled device (QCCD) architecture natively supports mid-circuit measurement and qubit reuse. These hardware capabilities can be most powerfully utilized with our open-source Pythonic quantum-classical programming language.
