Supplementary material for "Compilation of a simple chemistry application to quantum error correction primitives"

This repository contains code for generating results presented in the paper "Compilation of a simple chemistry application to quantum error correction primitives" by Blunt, Gehér, and Moylett.

Folder structure

• .devcontainer and environment contain tools for building a Docker environment with the required dependencies.
• circuit_files contains QASM circuits for quantum phase estimation.
• figures contains figures generated for the paper using this code.
• logical_circuit contains code for generating the logical circuit and analysing the Gridsynth decomposition.
• lattice_operations contains code for simulating Lattice surgery primitives.
• pauli_operations contains code for analysing circuits as Pauli product rotations.
• resource_estimates contains code for estimating the resources required for running a QASM circuit.

This repository also contains one submodule from GitHub:

• magicstates is the supplementary material for Magic State Distillation: Not as Costly as You Think by Daniel Litinski. This code was used to estimate the resource requirements for generating $|T\rangle$ states, as used in the resource_estimates directory.

When cloning this repository, submodules can be initialised with git submodule update --init --recursive.

Development environment

We include a Dockerfile for an environment with all required dependencies. If you wish to run the code outside of the development environment, dependencies can be found in environment/dev_requirements.txt.

A Docker container can be built with the command make build, and a shell can be started with the command make shell.
