Abstract
The chapter describes in detail the design and analysis of the Quantum Logic Array (QLA) architecture, which is a homogeneous, tile-based quantum architecture whose low-level elements are modeled using the ion-trap technology characteristics. Our hope is that by going in detail through the design decisions made for the QLA architecture, the reader will get a better sense in the role computer architectures can play in quantum architecture design. The QLA architecture model is intended to efficiently overcome the primary scalability issues described in Chapter 4, enabling substantial performance improvements critical to supporting full-scale applications such as computationally relevant instances Shor’s factoring algorithm.
