Quasar
Quasar is a hardware-aware quantum compiler for star-topology architectures, with a focus on central-spin platforms such as NV centers in diamond. It compiles quantum circuits into native gate sequences and optimized pulse sequences for quantum computing and quantum sensing.
Key features
- Architecture-aware gate synthesis for star-topology connectivity, with a high-performance C++ backend.
- Two complementary synthesis strategies: Adaptive (bottom-up) and Tree Search (top-down).
- Error-aware compilation that finds the optimal trade-off between circuit depth and gate errors.
- Pulse-level compilation for NV-center devices, with simulator (Simphony) and hardware backends.
- Qiskit-compatible input and output.
Why Quasar?
- Fewer two-qubit gates than general-purpose compilers such as Qiskit and BQSKit.
- Output matched to hardware connectivity and asymmetric native gate costs.
- Reduced error accumulation and improved expected execution fidelity.
