Abstract: Apparatus and method for specifying quantum operations such as qubit rotations in a quantum instruction. For example, one embodiment of an apparatus comprises: a quantum instruction processing pipeline to process a quantum instruction having one or more opcodes to specify quantum operations and one or more operands and/or fields to specify values to be used to perform the quantum operations; a quantum waveform synthesizer to synthesize a waveform to control a qubit based on the values specified by the operands and/or fields of the quantum instruction.

Abstract: Parallel streaming apparatus and method for parallel quantum computations. For example, one embodiment of a processor comprises: a memory interface coupled to a system memory; and a plurality of streaming multi-processors, each streaming multiprocessor to execute a plurality of instruction streams in parallel, the instruction streams including quantum instructions, each streaming multiprocessor comprising: an instruction cache to store a first plurality of the quantum instructions fetched from the memory; instruction issue circuitry to dispatch each quantum instruction of the first plurality for execution; a plurality of parallel quantum execution circuits, each parallel quantum execution circuit to execute a subset of the first plurality of quantum instructions, two or more of the first plurality of quantum instructions to be executed in parallel by a corresponding two or more of the parallel quantum execution circuits; and a plurality of wave generators to receive signals from the plurality of parallel quantum execution circuits responsive to execution of each of the first plurality of quantum instructions, the wave generators to responsively generate analog waveforms to control qubits of a quantum processor.
