A ``deep'' quantum compiler will be versatile enough to target a wide variety of hardware implementations, and simple enough to support any programming language. - This project builds on recent significant To develop such a compiler, we will leverage the versatility and the power of the \zxcalculus, a tensor-based system for analysing quantum operations. Recent formal and practical advances in completeness and optimisation of the \zxcalculus demonstrate a proof-of-principle of the possibility of developing a deep quantum compiler, including provably-correct program transformations for automatically adding error correction and performing hardware-guided optimisations. Developing such a compiler will allow for the sound development of tightly integrated software stacks for quantum computers, enabling them to perform computations better and faster.
