Bridge of Ψ's (BOPS) is a generative model that learns to transform quantum circuits into equivalent, optimized versions using Schr"odinger bridges and a custom denoiser architecture. Trained on data engineered to challenge existing optimizers, BOPS achieves a 2.46× reduction in gate count and a 2.45× reduction in depth on 8‑qubit, 64‑depth Clifford+$T$ circuits, outperforming nine baseline optimizers. This work demonstrates the first successful application of generative machine learning to quantum circuit optimization, expanding the quantum compilation stack with learned techniques.

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.
The paper introduces QuantumEvo, an evolutionary framework that employs a large language model (LLM) to generate heuristics for ordering variables in binary decision diagrams (BDDs) used in reversible quantum circuit synthesis. By searching over heuristic families and directly manipulating BDD variable orderings, QuantumEvo produces the HGA-QE heuristic, which modifies the sifting step of a genetic algorithm to better align with quantum circuit cost (QCC). Across benchmark sets, HGA-QE achieves a 70.9% tie-or-win rate against the best per-function baseline and strictly outperforms it on 13.5% of functions, demonstrating competitive QCC performance and a clear advantage on benchmarks from different data sources.

Quantum circuit optimization for fault-tolerant computing requires exact functional equivalence while minimizing expensive non-Clifford resources such as T gates. We study this problem using a compact 44.
