PROFILE

Daria Van Hende

Worked on the oqc-community/qat repository, delivering a robust quantum compiler stack focused on hardware-aware optimization, data modeling, and scalable architecture. Over eight months, developed features such as unified hardware parameter handling, Pydantic-based models, and OpenPulse integration, while refactoring core compiler passes for maintainability. Leveraged Python, C++, and NumPy to implement experimental QASM parsing, IR-level optimizations, and metrics pipelines, enhancing reliability and performance across diverse hardware targets. Addressed data consistency and validation through type-safe serialization, comprehensive testing, and bug fixes. The technical approach emphasized modular design, configuration management, and extensible APIs, supporting safe experimentation and streamlined deployment for quantum workflows.

Oct 1, 2025

October 2025 (oqc-community/qat): Delivered architectural and data-model improvements to support multi-hardware instruction builders and OpenPulse integration. Implemented a Unified BuilderFactory to centralize builder selection per hardware model, refactored parsing/frontend to rely on the factory, and introduced OpenPulseFeatures tooling for Pydantic integration with comprehensive unit tests. These changes improve scalability, reduce maintenance overhead, and increase reliability across hardware targets.

September 2025 monthly work summary for oqc-community/qat focusing on features delivered, bugs fixed, and impact. Implemented PydArray-based NumPy array handling in Pydantic models, refactoring array data pathways for improved type safety and performance. Fixed duplication of sample_time in the Pydantic hardware model by moving sample_time handling to post-processing and addressing related data consistency issues. These changes enhance data reliability, pipeline robustness, and maintainability for hardware data workflows.

Monthly Summary for 2025-08: Auto-inclusion of Experimental Metrics in the Compile Pipeline implemented for oqc-community/qat. The CompilePipeline now defaults to Experimental metrics by importing MetricsType and instantiating CompilerConfig with this metric type, ensuring metrics are included automatically in builds. Commit 62049621eb8ac0400b7bec24e2e919c29bd22aac ('Add `Experimental` metrics to default compile pipeline. (#369)'). No major bugs fixed this month. Overall impact: reduces manual configuration, enforces metric consistency, and accelerates experimentation and validation. Skills demonstrated: metrics pipeline integration, utilization of MetricsType and CompilerConfig, and version control.

Apr 1, 2025

April 2025: Delivered a cohesive set of compiler and data-model updates for oqc-community/qat that improve timing accuracy, robustness, and hardware-aware optimization. Implemented a batch of experimental compiler passes (phase reset sanitization, instruction length sanitization, frequency shift pulses, and ResetsToDelays) with integration into timeline analysis and lowering. Introduced Qubit Quality Improvements and a Hardware Target Data Model (TargetData, DeviceDescription, QubitDescription, ResonatorDescription) with a YAML loader and updated qubit_quality documentation. Added Acquire Channel Weight Validation to prevent inconsistent timing on the same pulse channel. Upgraded core dependencies (qiskit-aer to 0.16.x, Pydantic v2) to leverage latest fixes and features. These changes enhance reliability, maintainability, and the ability to optimize for specific hardware, accelerating safe experimentation and deployment.
