Current monolithic quantum computer architectures have limited scalability. One promising approach for scaling them up is to use a modular or multi-core architecture, in which different quantum processors (cores) are connected via quantum and classical links. This new architectural design poses new challenges such as the expensive inter-core communication. To reduce these movements when executing a quantum algorithm, an efficient mapping technique is required. In this paper, a detailed critical discussion of the quantum circuit mapping problem for multi-core quantum computing architectures is provided. In addition, we further explore the performance of a mapping method, which is formulated as a partitioning over time graph problem, by performing an architectural scalability analysis.

Modular quantum computing architectures offer a promising alternative to monolithic designs for overcoming the scaling limitations of current quantum computers. To achieve scalability beyond small prototypes, quantum architectures are expected to adopt a modular approach, featuring clusters of tightly connected quantum bits with sparser connections between these clusters. Efficiently distributing qubits across multiple processing cores is critical for improving quantum computing systems' performance and scalability. To address this challenge, we propose the Hungarian Qubit Assignment (HQA) algorithm, which leverages the Hungarian algorithm to improve qubit-to-core assignment. The HQA algorithm considers the interactions between qubits over the entire circuit, enabling fine-grained partitioning and enhanced qubit utilization. We compare the HQA algorithm with state-of-the-art alternatives through comprehensive experiments using both real-world quantumalgorithms and random quantum circuits. The results demonstrate the superiority of our proposed approach, outperforming existing methods, with an average improvement of 1.28x.

Ion trap technologies have earned significant attention as potential candidates for quantum information processing due to their long decoherence times and precise manipulation of individual qubits, distinguishing them from other candidates in the field of quantum technologies. However, scalability remains a challenge, as introducing additional qubits into a trap increases noise and heating effects, consequently decreasing operational fidelity. Trapped-ion quantum Charge-Coupled Device (QCCD) architectures have addressed this limitation by interconnecting multiple traps and employing ion shuttling mechanisms to transfer ions among traps. This new architectural design requires the development of novel compilation techniques for quantumalgorithms, which efficiently allocate and route qubits, and schedule operations. The aim of a compiler is to minimize ion movements and, therefore, reduce the execution time of the circuit to achieve a higher fidelity. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for initial qubit placement, demonstrating enhancements of up to 50% compared to prior methods. Furthermore, we conduct a scalability analysis on two distinct QCCD topologies: a 1D-linear array and a ring structure. Additionally, we evaluate the impact of the excess capacity - i.e. the number of free spaces within a trap - on the algorithm performance.
