Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method of selecting a power-optimal compression scheme for transmitting digital control signals from a classical interface of a quantum computer to a quantum processing unit (QPU) of the quantum computer, the method comprising performing the following steps on a classical computing device:
receiving a static power consumption value associated with the QPU and a plurality of dynamic power consumption values associated with a respective plurality of operations performable by the QPU;
determining a plurality of compression schemes implementable by the QPU;
for each of the plurality of compression schemes, calculating, using the static power consumption value and the plurality of dynamic power consumption values, a total power consumption value associated with receiving and decompressing a representative control signal at the QPU using the respective compression scheme; and,
selecting a compression scheme of the plurality of compression schemes having the lowest total power consumption value.
