Epic: Unitary Fund Grant Plan

[gwwatkin]

The plan with which we applied for the Unitary Fund micro grant (which we've now received):

UI Refinements

• Epic: https://github.com/latticesurgery-com/web-ui/issues/48

Simulation with Error Model

• Ideas:
  • Simple error model with random X and Z flips to patches
  • Look into whether switching to density matrix simulation can help us make better error models (Varun)
  • Ideas for papers that might have some data on error behaviour for patches
    • https://arxiv.org/pdf/2110.05854.pdf
    • https://arxiv.org/pdf/2101.07285.pdf
    • https://arxiv.org/abs/1901.10847

Resource Estimation:

• Integration with OpenSurgery/zxQentiana/Quantify

Additional Enhancements

• https://github.com/latticesurgery-com/lattice-surgery-compiler/issues/116
• https://github.com/latticesurgery-com/lattice-surgery-compiler/issues/128
• Set up an organizational AWS account Some other ideas:
• Error decoding with PyMatching
• Completely remove dependency on Qiskit
  • Parsing directly into PyZX (need to add parsing non unitaries)
  • Simulate without Qiskit operators (maybe even make a C++ module)
