量子计算正从学术理念向实用技术转变，通用量子生态系统助力此转变。但当前设备模型受超导硬件影响，无法体现中性原子等新兴技术特性，导致中性原子设备集成受阻。本文展示此局限致编译结果不佳甚至排除特定设备。为此提议重新思考设备模型以实现中性原子设备无缝集成。在量子设备管理接口中的评估表明，新模型使16量子比特和600门电路的路由开销保真度提高多达100000倍。
英文摘要
Quantum computing is transitioning from an academic idea to a practical technology, driven by recent hardware advancements and clear paths toward real-world applications. Universal quantum ecosystems (e.g., Qiskit, Cirq, PennyLane) facilitate this transition by providing a consistent interface to diverse quantum devices, abstracting hardware-specific details through a device model that captures each device's computational capabilities. However, these device models have historically been shaped by superconducting hardware, assuming static qubit positions and fixed coupling maps. This prevents them from representing the unique computational capabilities of emerging technologies such as neutral atoms, which feature dynamic qubit rearrangement and zoned operations. As a result, although numerous specialized compilers for neutral atom devices already exist, they cannot retrieve the hardware information they need through these ecosystems - creating a technology lock that hinders or even prevents the integration of neutral atom devices. In this work, we demonstrate how this limitation leads to suboptimal compilation results and can exclude certain devices entirely. Motivated by this, we propose rethinking current device models to faithfully represent neutral atom devices, enabling their seamless integration into universal quantum ecosystems. Evaluations conducted within the Quantum Device Management Interface (QDMI) demonstrate that the proposed device model unlocks a routing overhead fidelity improvement by a factor of up to 100,000 on a circuit with 16 qubits and 600 gates.
