• Abstract: Compiling a quantum circuit for specific quantum hardware is a challenging task. Moreover, current quantum computers have severe hardware limitations. To make the most use of the limited resources, the compilation process should be optimized. To improve currents methods, Reinforcement Learning (RL), a technique in which an agent interacts with an environment to learn complex policies to attain a specific goal, can be used. In this work, we present qgym, a software framework derived from the OpenAI gym, together with environments that are specifically tailored towards quantum compilation. The goal of qgym is to connect the research fields of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with quantum compilation by abstracting parts of the process that are irrelevant to either domain. It can be used to train and benchmark RL agents and algorithms in highly customizable environments.

• From Easy to Hard: Tackling Quantum Problems with Learned Gadgets For Real Hardware [0.0]
  Reinforcement learning has proven to be a powerful approach, but many limitations remain due to the exponential scaling of the space of possible operations on qubits. We develop an algorithm that automatically learns composite gates ("$gadgets$") and adds them as additional actions to the reinforcement learning agent to facilitate the search. We show that with GRL we can find very compact PQCs that improve the error in estimating the ground state of TFIM by up to $107$ fold.
