The paper reports on shuttling compilers for trapped‑ion quantum computers that are built using five large language models (LLMs) fine‑tuned on hand‑crafted shuttling schedules for linear and branched one‑dimensional trap architectures. For circuits up to 16 qubits, the fine‑tuned LLMs produce valid schedules on the training architectures, and in 12% of compilations the best of ten runs achieves up to 21% fewer operations than heuristic baselines after rule‑based post‑processing. A single run of one LLM also generates a valid schedule for a previously unseen four‑way branched architecture, providing preliminary evidence of cross‑architecture generalization, though no LLM succeeded on two other unseen architectures.

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.

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.
