Abstract
A computer-implemented method of selecting a power-optimal compression scheme for transmitting digital control signals from a classical interface of a quantum computer to a quantum processing unit (QPU) of the quantum computer is disclosed. The method involves receiving static and dynamic power consumption values associated with operations performable by the QPU; determining compression schemes implementable by the QPU; calculating total power consumption values associated with receiving and decompressing a representative control signal at the QPU using the compression schemes; and selecting the compression scheme having the lowest total power consumption value. A corresponding method for transmitting control signals from a classical interface of the quantum computer to the QPU is also disclosed in which a compressed control signal is transmitted from the classical interface to the QPU with one or more delays.
