A zone is a site that has a spatial extent, i.e., it is not just a point in space as a regular site. These kind of sites, namely zones, are required to adequately represent global operations that act on all qubits within a certain area, i.e., a zone.

Note

Zones are typically used in neutral atom devices, where the atoms are arranged in a 2D or 3D lattice, and operations can be applied to all atoms within a certain zone. This property defaults to false, i.e., if a device reports QDMI_ERROR_NOTSUPPORTED for this property, it is assumed that the site is a regular site and not a zone.

A submodule is a repetitive substructure of sites within a module. E.g., for a module (QDMI_SITE_PROPERTY_MODULEINDEX), where the sites are arranged in pairs and the pairs are arranged in a grid, the submodule index would be the index of the pair within the module.

enumerator QDMI_SITE_PROPERTY_MAX

The maximum value of the enum.

It can be used by devices for bounds checking and validation of function parameters.

Attention

This value must remain the last regular member of the enum besides the custom members and must be updated when new members are added.

The device defines the meaning and the type of this property.

Attention

The value of this enum member must not be changed to maintain binary compatibility.

To obtain the physical interaction radius, a client must scale the raw value of this property. The physical interaction radius is calculated as: raw_value * scale_factor, where scale_factor is the value of the QDMI_DEVICE_PROPERTY_LENGTHSCALEFACTOR property. The resulting value is in units of QDMI_DEVICE_PROPERTY_LENGTHUNIT.

Note

This property is mainly required for neutral atom devices where atoms representing qubits can be at arbitrary locations. Hence, it is infeasible to define a coupling map. Instead, the coupling of atoms is defined by the interaction radius of the operation.

enumerator QDMI_OPERATION_PROPERTY_BLOCKINGRADIUS

The blocking radius is the minimum distance between two qubits that should not be involved in the operation to avoid crosstalk. It only applies to multi-qubit gates.

The physical blocking radius is calculated as: raw_value, where scale_factor is the value of the QDMI_DEVICE_PROPERTY_LENGTHSCALEFACTOR property. The resulting value is in units of QDMI_DEVICE_PROPERTY_LENGTHUNIT.

Note

This property is mainly required for neutral atom devices where atoms representing qubits can be at arbitrary locations. To avoid crosstalk, the blocking radius of the operation must be respected when scheduling operations.

enumerator QDMI_OPERATION_PROPERTY_IDLINGFIDELITY

double Fidelity of qubits idling during a global operation.

This property measures the fidelity of qubits that are within the affected area of a global multi-qubit operation but do not actively participate (i.e., they lack an interaction partner within their radius). Even though these qubits undergo an identity operation, errors may still occur, resulting in lower fidelity compared to qubits that are simply idling and not exposed to the operation.

Note

This is especially relevant for neutral atom devices, where global operations (e.g., laser pulses) can impact all atoms in the array, including those not interacting.

enumerator QDMI_OPERATION_PROPERTY_ISZONED

bool Whether the operation is a zoned (global) operation.

A zoned (or global) operation is an operation that can be applied simultaneously to all qubits within a specific zone. If this property is true, the operation is considered zoned. If it is false or returns QDMI_ERROR_NOTSUPPORTED, the operation is considered local. The applicability of a zoned operation to specific zones is detailed in QDMI_OPERATION_PROPERTY_SITES.

Note

This property is primarily relevant for neutral atom devices, where a laser can illuminate an entire array of atoms representing qubits.

enumerator QDMI_OPERATION_PROPERTY_SITES

IQM_QDMI_Site* (list) The sites to which the operation is applicable.

enumerator QDMI_OPERATION_PROPERTY_MEANSHUTTLINGSPEED

uint64_t The raw, unscaled mean shuttling speed of an operation.

To obtain the physical speed, a client must scale the raw value of this property. The physical speed is calculated as: raw_value * length_scale_factor / duration_scale_factor. The length_scale_factor is the value of QDMI_DEVICE_PROPERTY_LENGTHSCALEFACTOR and the duration_scale_factor is the value of QDMI_DEVICE_PROPERTY_DURATIONSCALEFACTOR. The resulting value is in units of QDMI_DEVICE_PROPERTY_LENGTHUNIT per QDMI_DEVICE_PROPERTY_DURATIONUNIT.

Note

This property is mainly required for neutral atom devices where atoms representing qubits can be moved to different sites.

  • The number of qubits in the quantum register q matches the number of sites in the device.

  • The program only contains gate identifiers that are reported by the QDMI_OPERATION_PROPERTY_NAME property of the device’s operations.

Given a program following these rules, the operations in the program are expected to be performed on the physical sites of the device as queried via QDMI_DEVICE_PROPERTY_SITES. Specifically, an operation on q[i] is performed on the i-th site in the list of sites returned by the device.

Note

Devices may decide to support more general OpenQASM 2.0 programs that do not follow these rules, for example, using multiple qubit registers or arbitrary gates. However, in that case, no guarantees can be made about the mapping of qubits in the program to the physical sites of the device.

enumerator QDMI_PROGRAM_FORMAT_QASM3

char* (string) An OpenQASM 3 program.

A text-based representation of a quantum circuit in the OpenQASM 3 language. Devices that claim to support this format must accept programs conforming to the same rules as for QDMI_PROGRAM_FORMAT_QASM2.

Besides the rules for OpenQASM 2.0 programs, OpenQASM 3 programs may be written using physical qubits, which are denoted by $[NUM], with [NUM] being a non-negative integer denoting the physical qubit’s index. If a program uses physical qubits, the operations in the program must be performed on the sites with indices corresponding to the physical qubits in the program.

Note

Devices may decide to support more general OpenQASM 3 programs that do not follow these rules, for example, using multiple qubit registers or arbitrary gates. However, in that case, no guarantees can be made about the mapping of qubits in the program to the physical sites of the device.

enumerator QDMI_PROGRAM_FORMAT_QIRBASESTRING

char* (string) A text-based QIR program complying to the QIR base profile.

A text-based representation of a quantum circuit in the Quantum Intermediate Representation (QIR) format; specifically, the QIR base profile. Devices that claim to support this format must accept programs that follow the rules for the QIR base profile and that only contain operations that are reported by the QDMI_OPERATION_PROPERTY_NAME property of the device’s operations (for example, @__quantum__qis__[NAME]__body, where [NAME] is the name of the operation).

QIR has a similar distinction between dynamically allocated and static hardware qubits as QDMI_PROGRAM_FORMAT_QASM3. The same rules apply for the mapping of qubits in the program to the physical sites of the device. Specifically, if the program only allocates a single register named q with as many qubits as there are sites in the device, the operations in the program are expected to be performed on the physical sites of the device as queried via QDMI_DEVICE_PROPERTY_SITES. If the program uses static qubit addresses (for example, ptr inttoptr (i64 1 to ptr)), the operations in the program must be performed on the sites with indices corresponding to the static qubit addresses in the program.

Note

Devices may decide to support more general QIR programs that do not follow these rules, for example, using multiple qubit registers or arbitrary gates. However, in that case, no guarantees can be made about the mapping of qubits in the program to the physical sites of the device.
