Towards advantages of parameterized quantum pulses

This study addresses the limited research on profiling parameterized pulses and providing guidance for pulse circuit design, despite the increasing attention on the advantages of quantum pulses over quantum gates. The authors propose a set of design spaces for parameterized pulses, evaluating these pulses based on metrics such as expressivity, entanglement capability, and effective parameter dimension. Using these design spaces, they demonstrate the advantages of parameterized pulses over gate circuits in terms of duration and performance, enabling high-performance quantum computing. The proposed design space for parameterized pulse circuits has shown promising results in quantum chemistry benchmarks, highlighting the benefits of quantum pulses, such as flexibility, high fidelity, scalability, and real-time tuning.
