Abstract

In this survey, there is a systematic assessment of the existing plans of manufacturing Quantum. Their ability to make Intermediate Representations (QIRs) sell optimization solutions to problems, plasticity in the both hardware and verification. We survey the existent methodologies and identify them in four waves, i.e. language-derived paradigm, multi-level paradigm, classically-quantum and hybrid classical-quantum paradigm and hybrid formally verified and verify their performance in some major parameters, i.e., circuit depth reduction, compilation transversal and cross-operating system portability. We find that the optimal compromise of performance and reliability is realised on hybrid systems that combine classical Compiler with extensions supporting quantum, in which current tools (note that we are not exist and future designs, which implement quantum provide technology at the center of the research significant enhancement of optimization ability and black box testing of the verification suite. Nevertheless, essential there are problems within the development of the new quantum paradigms supporter, temporal optimization and error correction incorporation. An outlook is provided at the end of the paper on the creation of next generation QIR with a special emphasis on the need to have verifiable, quantifiable frameworks that maintain optimization at the various levels transparent. This paper can be used as are source on both the technical community designing quantum compilers in addition to a roadmap that researchers should pursue in this various area of QIR.
