The Quantum Computing Stack
摘要
This chapter introduces the conceptual structure of the quantum computing stack. It discusses hardware-level control, device-specific gate sets, dynamic circuit instructions, and the role of quantum assembly languages with examples, where appropriate, and the relations between these elements are discussed. It also provides an overview of error suppression, mitigation, and correction as they appear across the stack with examples of well-known techniques. A brief review of contemporary hardware performance metrics is presented with rule-of-thumb interpretations of key metrics.
