UCC (Unitary Compiler Collection): A Community-Driven, Interoperable, Open-Source Quantum Compiler

The rapid advancement of quantum hardware, control, and error resilience techniques has exponentially increased the complexity of quantum programming. The quantum compiler software ecosystem is particularly fragmented, with improvements often isolated in one-off repositories and high switching costs between frameworks. We introduce the Unitary Compiler Collection (UCC), a unified, community-driven quantum compiler which aggregates state-of-the-art open-source compilation techniques behind a consistent API. UCC aims to deliver performance competitive for a variety of NISQ hardware while establishing a modular architecture for early fault-tolerant compilation. It provides user-friendly interoperability across popular quantum program representations (Qiskit, Cirq, etc.) and is driven by the global Unitary Foundation quantum community of researchers and developers. UCC's "meta-compiler" architecture integrates best-in-class components and draws together tools that would otherwise remain siloed. Benchmark results show UCC achieves a median two-qubit gate reduction factor of 0.751, competitive with leading compilers, and seamlessly integrates with quantum error mitigation tools like Mitiq, achieving a 20% improvement over pure Zero Noise Extrapolation in a noisy simulation. UCC's proven ability to unify disparate tools, supported by a structured, funded open-source model, positions it to enable the community to integrate new research as quantum computing continues to evolve.
