Guiding Compiler Optimizations for Neutral Atom Quantum Computers Through Visualizations

The scale of Neutral Atom (NA) quantum computers requires automated compilation tools. Designing the required heuristic methods demands a deep understanding of complex hardware trade-offs, for which visualizations can provide crucial insights. This work introduces NAViz, the first publicly available app to visualize quantum computations on NA devices in real-time. A case study demonstrates how NAViz was instrumental in identifying and resolving inefficiencies in an existing compilation strategy, leading to a new, more performant one. The tool is available as part of the Munich Quantum Toolkit (MQT) at https://github.com/munich-quantum-toolkit/naviz.
