原文摘要
Neutral-atom quantum computers commonly connect distant qubits by transporting atoms, incurring trap-handover errors, heating, and atom loss. We present BRIDGE (Buffer-Relay Interconnect for Data-stable Gate Execution), a hardware--software co-design that connects stationary data atoms through a fixed, second-species buffer network. Short buffer chains mediate remote controlled-Z gates and return to their initial states after each operation. BRIDGE-F combines relay routing with buffer-mediated SWAPs to relocate quantum states without transporting atoms. BRIDGE-H additionally permits data-atom transport when its full modeled cost is offset by higher survival-weighted fidelity. Across 21 circuits, BRIDGE-F exceeds ZAP and Enola in modeled survival-weighted fidelity, with geometric-mean ratios of $2.1\times$ and $38\times$ and medians of $1.3\times$ and $3.7\times$. Modeled execution latency is lower by factors of approximately $500$ and $1{,}350$, respectively, with circuit single-qubit costs excluded and relay/SWAP Hadamards included. On the same fabric, BRIDGE-F matches or exceeds SABRE-based routing on 17 circuits. Rescoring nominal plans with relay-module error equal to direct-CZ error preserves the advantage over ZAP across all 21 circuits, although recompilation can underperform on QFT. These results identify stationary buffer-mediated connectivity as a promising alternative to repeated atom transport under the stated physical assumptions.
