Consider the energy consumption of your quantum circuits
Coral Calero Muñoz, Macario Polo Usaola, Elena Desdentado Fernández, María Ángeles Moraga de la Rubia
Quantum solutions are typically evaluated in terms of performance, efficiency, speedup or the number of qubits — but not energy consumption. Yet quantum computing comes at a high energy cost. To make sure quantum computing is developed energy-efficiently, it is essential to optimize the design of the circuit, and pay attention to aspects such as the circuit layout and how the execution is done on the quantum computer.
