A Compiler for Fault Tolerant Quantum Computing

arXiv:2611.13301v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC) needs compiler intermediate representations (IRs) that preserve error-correcting-code choices, syndrome information, and non-Clifford resource requirements through analysis, simulation, and hardware lowering. We report practical experience building FTQC, an open-source Multi-Level Intermediate Representation (MLIR) dialect that makes logical qubits, syndromes, magic states, and Pauli frames typed static single assignment (SSA) values. Its error-correction-aware type system, two-level lowering design, and IR-resident resource analysis provide one inspectable pipeline to Open Quantum Assembly Language~3 (OpenQASM~3), the Quantum Intermediate Representation (QIR), Stim, and IQM hardware.
