Unitary Compiler Collection

Compilers are vital tools for turning code into efficient executables that run on machines, making them a key part of classical computing infrastructure. While classical computing benefits from a wealth of sophisticated compiler tools, the quantum computing landscape is young in its software tooling development. In this talk I'll motivate the need for a new, cross-platform quantum circuit compiler which goes beyond existing tools.

At Unitary Foundation, we are developing the Unitary Compiler Collection (UCC)—a Python library designed for frontend-agnostic, high-performance compilation of quantum circuits. Think of it as GCC, but for quantum computers. We’ll share benchmarking results comparing UCC to current quantum circuit compilers across real-world applications and explore future directions to push the boundaries of quantum compilation.
