Abstract

QuanBench+ evaluates large language models on quantum code generation across multiple frameworks using functional testing and repair-based feedback, revealing significant progress but persistent dependence on framework-specific knowledge.

AI-generated summary

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used for code generation, yet quantum code generation is still evaluated mostly within single frameworks, making it difficult to separate quantum reasoning from framework familiarity. We introduce QuanBench+, a unified benchmark spanning Qiskit, PennyLane, and Cirq, with 42 aligned tasks covering quantum algorithms, gate decomposition, and state preparation. We evaluate models with executable functional tests, report Pass@1 and Pass@5, and use KL-divergence-based acceptance for probabilistic outputs. We additionally study Pass@1 after feedback-based repair, where a model may revise code after a runtime error or wrong answer. Across frameworks, the strongest one-shot scores reach 59.5% in Qiskit, 54.8% in Cirq, and 42.9% in PennyLane; with feedback-based repair, the best scores rise to 83.3%, 76.2%, and 66.7%, respectively. These results show clear progress, but also that reliable multi-framework quantum code generation remains unsolved and still depends strongly on framework-specific knowledge.

QuanBench+ is a new benchmark for LLM-based quantum code generation across multiple frameworks.
Our goal is to make evaluation more unified, reproducible, and meaningful with canonical solutions, pass@k analysis, and KL-based output checking.
Would love feedback from people working on code generation, evaluation, and quantum ML.
