Language Models Find Smaller Quantum Circuits
An evolutionary loop lets models propose reversible designs while an independent evaluator verifies and scores them.
Summary
An evolutionary loop lets models propose reversible designs while an independent evaluator verifies and scores them.
Across eight numerical, chemistry, optimization, simulation and number-theory tasks, the authors report lower Toffoli and qubit counts than prior work in seven and a new reversible modular-inversion design in the eighth. The result is evaluator-guided algorithm search, not evidence of quantum advantage on hardware.
Why it matters
