Compiler Framework for 3D Neutral-Atom Quantum Computers

Quantum Physics 2026-08-02 v1 Hardware Architecture

Abstract

Neutral-atom quantum computers can now arrange atoms in three-dimensional tweezer arrays, yet every existing compiler assumes a flat geometry. We present Piqasso, a compiler that exploits the vertical axis by stacking storage, entanglement, and readout into distinct layers. Its pipeline pairs an analytical placement respecting axial-clearance optics with a router that brings gate partners together via short vertical hops---bypassing in-plane crossing conflicts through out-of-plane detours---and a multi-AOD scheduler that parallelizes transport across focal planes. On 34 circuits, Piqasso reduces atom transport distance by 2.1×\times over a state-of-the-art planar compiler, yielding up to 7.3×\times faster execution, 2.2×\times higher movement fidelity, and 1.8×\times fewer serialized transport rounds, with all gains widening at scale.
