QPipe Agentic Quantum Code Generation
Description
LLM-based multi-agent architecture that autonomously turns natural language requirements into traceable quantum-application workflows through specialized agents.
Core Architecture
Agent Decomposition
- Requirement Parsing Agent: Extracts quantum-specific requirements from NL
- Formulation Agent: Translates requirements into quantum circuit specifications
- Code Generation Agent: Generates executable quantum code (Qiskit/Cirq/etc.)
- Review Agent: Validates quantum code correctness and optimization
- Execution Agent: Runs quantum circuits on simulators/hardware
- Verification Agent: Validates results against expected outcomes
Performance Metrics
- 100% code compilation rate across 20 benchmarks
- 96.7% application execution success rate
- Average generation: 260 seconds, 1.89M tokens per requirement
- Generated solutions outperform offline genetic algorithm baseline
Key Ablation Findings
Success depends on retaining:
- Code-generation skills
- Task knowledge
- Review feedback
- Multi-agent decomposition
When to Use
- Building agentic systems for quantum software engineering
- Automated quantum code generation from specifications
- Quantum test optimization pipelines
- NL-to-quantum workflow automation
Pitfalls
- Token costs are significant (~1.89M per requirement)
- Multi-agent coordination overhead is non-trivial
- Requires strong quantum domain knowledge in LLM prompts
- Review feedback loop is critical — skipping it degrades quality
