A Qiskit tutorial that covers UnitarySyntheisPlugin and Approximate Quantum Compiler as an implementation

adekusar-drl commented 1 year ago

Description

Recently a new extension was introduced in Qiskit's transpiler - a unitary synthesis plugin API (https://qiskit.org/documentation/apidoc/transpiler_plugins.html). This API provides a hook point for external python packages to implement their own synthesis techniques and have them seamlessly exposed as opt-in options to users when they run. The aim of this project is to write a new tutorial that explains the plugin API and a particular implementation of this plugin, approximate quantum compiler (https://qiskit.org/documentation/apidoc/synthesis_aqc.html) that was introduced at the same time as the plugin API. The proposed tutorial should give a comprehensive point of view to unitary synthesis, API, and AQC from an end-user point of view and from a Qiskit developer perspective.

Deliverables

A tutorial, jupyter notebook for Qiskit Terra that covers three main topics: unitary syntheis, plugin API and approximate quantum compiler.

Hi @adekusar-drl I am interested in working on this project, I am working as a Quantum Researcher at Deloitte, and I have experience in using Qiskit as well. This will be a good experience for me. Let me know if we can connect on Slack to discuss more.

I'm closing this issue as I will be busy in another project.
