Architecting Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum Computers: A Real-System Study

Current quantum computers have very different qubit implementations, instruction sets, qubit connectivity, and noise characteristics. Using real-system evaluations on seven quantum systems from three leading vendors, our work explores fundamental design questions concerning hardware choices, archite...
