Abstract:
Recent progress in the development of quantum computing platforms operating with qudits -- d-dimensional quantum particles with d>2 -- raises important questions of how such platforms can be used in the most efficient way for implementing known quantum algorithms. In my talk, I am going to discuss possible approaches for implementing quBit-based circuits with quDit-based hardware. These approaches include (i) employing "higher" qudits' levels for substituting ancillary qubits in decompositions of multiqubit gates, (ii) embedding computational space of several qubits in a single qudit, and (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii). Special attention will be given to possible experimental implementations of discussed approaches within systems of superconducting qutrits and trapped ion-based qudits. The talk will be based on a collection of papers [1-5].
