Improvements to Red Queen

[mtreinish]

Description

Red Queen, https://github.com/Qiskit/red-queen, is a quantum compiler benchmark framework that we're using in Qiskit to characterize the performance (both runtime and quality) of qiskit's compiler (i.e. transpile())

Deliverables

The project is to work on improving the red queen framework. The primary deliverables will be pull requests to the project adding new benchmarks and making general improvements to the framework.

Hello @mtreinish , I am interested in this project. I have submitted my application for mentorship. Please, let me know what the next steps are. Looking forward to working with you. Thanks.

Hi @mtreinish This project interests me as it overlaps with both areas I have worked earlier- compiler performance and development. I have submitted my application for the QAMP fall program. if there is a spot for a mentee available I m interested.

Checkpoint2:

Progress so far on integrating MQTbench to red queen
Picked Amplitude estimation test as a proof of concept test and was able to create similar test files using red queen framework and run the test
Simplifications assumed: circuit created in .qasm, no fidelity comparisons

Updated .py file to create circuit and run it in memory instead of putting it into a qasm file

Next steps:

1. To discuss about fidelity comparisons and mid-circuit measurements with Matthew

Currently testing and working on visualisation of results
