Abstract :
This paper presents a new architecture to accelerate quantum computations, using reconfigurable computing structures. It was designed post place and route, validated with standard benchmarks, and its performance has been evaluated vs. a high end computer running the same benchmarks with highly optimized code. The acceleration of arbitrary quantum circuits is very promising because it extends the kind of quantum computing problems that can be solved with reconfigurable architectures.
