Quantum Compiler

This invention describes a software tool, a quantum compiler, that helps programmers write code for quantum computers, specifically those that solve problems by finding the lowest energy state, like quantum annealers. Programmers can use regular text-based code, and the compiler translates this into a mathematical description called a "program Hamiltonian" by breaking down the input into smaller pieces and combining them. This allows the quantum computer to run the program, where its physical state will naturally settle into a solution for the problem, with claims specifically detailing support for user-defined constraints and handling quantum table assignments.
