Support IQMClient circuits batch submissions #11

Open kukushechkin opened 1 year ago

kukushechkin commented 1 year ago

Currently pytket-iqm.IQMBackend.process_circuits takes in multiple circuits, but executes them through an IQMClient one by one. Starting with version 4.0 IQMClient supports batch circuits submission, if certain requirements are met:

If circuits not matching those requirements are submitted, IQM backend will return an error. While this might look like a very limited use-case it is useful for submitting similar circuits for execution as it provides a significant execution performance boost reducing transport and conversion overhead and allows to use quantum computer hardware more efficiently.

We suggest to improve process_circuits by submitting the circuits for execution as a batch if the requirements are met, while keeping one-by-one execution as a fallback.

Thank you for this suggestion and making us aware of this functionality. We will keep that in mind to add that!
