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.

Quantum MeanFlow (QMF) is a new quantum generative sampling method that enables single‑step sample generation by learning an average velocity field over a time interval, unlike the multi‑step quantum flow matching (QFM) which requires sequential integration of an ordinary differential equation. Using parameterized quantum circuits, the authors benchmark QMF and QFM on the MNIST dataset, finding that QMF produces lower image quality than multi‑step QFM but outperforms single‑step QFM at every shot count. Both models were executed on IBM quantum computers, and best‑of‑N rejection sampling mitigates device noise without circuit modification, demonstrating QMF’s practicality for efficient single‑step quantum generative sampling.

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.
