arXiv:2508. 20134v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Programming quantum circuits at the OpenQASM level is essential for achieving hardware-aware optimization and reliable execution on noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices, yet it remains challenging due to the need for domain-specific planning, iterative code synthesis, and low-level calibration.

As quantum computing progresses from proof-of-principle demonstrations toward practical utility, a significant impediment is the need to augment algorithmic feasibility with system-level optimization across heterogeneous hardware and software stacks. Quantum resource estimation (QRE) plays a central role in this transition, yet existing approaches remain largely compilation-heavy or domain-knowledge-guided symbolic annotations, and tightly coupled to long-term fault-tolerant assumptions, limiting their topical applicability.

Quantum Reinforcement Learning for Cost and Delay Tradeoffs in Quantum Cloud Orchestration proposes QRLQ, a scheduling framework that integrates parameterised quantum circuits with a dueling double deep Q‑network to balance execution cost and delay in quantum‑as‑a‑service environments. Simulation results show QRLQ outperforms heuristic baselines, achieving 5‑11% lower mean cost and up to 82% lower mean delay while maintaining fidelity within 2% of a fidelity‑greedy policy. Compared to a classical deep reinforcement learning baseline, QRLQ delivers comparable performance with 72% fewer trainable parameters.

The review examines how machine learning can adapt quantum combinatorial optimization workflows by learning decisions such as formulation, penalties, shot budgets, and backend selection. It categorizes the literature into three paradigms—AI for quantum optimization, quantum for AI-driven optimization, and AI‑quantum co‑optimization—and analyzes 119 papers, finding stronger evidence for AI assisting quantum methods than for quantum enhancing learned optimizers. The authors highlight limited experimental controls, introduce an M0‑M5 evidence hierarchy, and argue that scaling is a systems problem requiring careful allocation of classical and quantum resources.

Cross-Backend QIEO is a runtime core for quantum-inspired evolutionary optimization that unifies execution across OpenMP5, CUDA, HIP, and multiple high-level languages. It compiles a single C++ implementation per hardware target and dispatches to CPU, multi-core, NVIDIA, or AMD backends at runtime, adapting kernels to each device’s memory hierarchy. The framework is validated with real-world bindings: a Python neural‑network hyperparameter optimizer achieving 88.60 % MNIST accuracy, a MATLAB wind‑farm layout optimizer matching particle swarm results and outperforming genetic algorithms, and a Julia package that reduces mean SSE by 2.1× in Lotka–Volterra parameter estimation.

The paper introduces MQSS-Selector, a reinforcement‑learning guided pass selection system for an MLIR compilation pipeline aimed at unified High Performance Computing‑Quantum Computing (HPCQC) infrastructures. It addresses the challenges of Noisy Intermediate‑Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices by integrating device selection, compiler‑pass optimization, and job queue scheduling into a single learning‑based framework. The selector can simultaneously optimize multiple objectives—fidelity, compilation time, and scheduling latency—while adapting to circuit characteristics and device conditions.

QART is a quantum‑classical hybrid architecture that augments a language model with quantum encoding, CIM‑based QUBO optimization, and quantum decoding to improve long‑horizon reasoning. The authors claim that, under certain assumptions, QART can maintain a non‑zero probability of recovering an optimal reasoning path while traditional autoregressive LLMs see their acceptance probability drop to zero as cumulative risk grows. Experiments on six benchmarks with three backbone models show that QART outperforms the baselines in 14 of 15 pairings, with relative gains up to 84.0% on SciCode.

The paper introduces Quantum‑Harbor, a virtual laboratory that lets AI agents interact with quantum systems in a controlled setting, enabling verification of their actions and conclusions. Using this platform, the authors created QIQCBench, a benchmark of 49 expert‑authored tasks covering calibration, control, error correction, compilation, sensing, and networking. Testing 17 state‑of‑the‑art agentic systems on QIQCBench revealed wide variation in verified performance, highlighting a gap between demonstrated capability and reliable operation and positioning Quantum‑Harbor as a foundation for measuring progress toward verified autonomy in quantum engineering.
