ABSTRACT
Practical applications of quantum computing are currently limited by the number of qubits that can be set with reasonable fidelity for each system. Therefore, a distributed quantum computing system with multiple quantum computers coherently connected is highly demanding. To realize the inter-node communication of quantum information, the software interface, Quantum Message Passing Interface (QMPI), leveraging the framework built for classical MPI but taking advantage of quantum teleportation to communicate between different quantum nodes was proposed. In this work, we developed a QMPI implementation with a variety of point-to-point and collective operations in Qiskit and characterize its performance by demonstrating the reference implementations on a few benchmark quantum applications. Moreover, we developed a new approach for optimizing collective communications for the distributed quantum programs with multi-controlled Toffoli gates. This approach outperforms current state-of-the-art in terms of fidelity and the number of remote EPR pairs in both simulations and experiments over IBM’s quantum platforms.
