• Abstract: Identifying a meaningful quantum speedup requires more than matching a classical problem to a familiar quantum primitive: the claim must preserve the task, respect access and output models, expose required promises, and remain within a defensible complexity scope. We present QuantumMind, an auditable agentic workflow for generating and conservatively screening quantum-acceleration hypotheses. A fixed sequence of typed, role-specialized actions formalizes the public task, analyzes structure and classical bottlenecks, matches a source-linked registry of quantum primitives and barriers, and constructs a scoped candidate scheme. A deterministic ten-check validator assigns the authoritative verdict; completed states are compiled into a Quantum Acceleration Evidence Graph and passed through a downward-only research screen that cannot strengthen the decision. We evaluate QuantumMind against seven task-adapted prompting and agentic controls on 582 identical open-discovery tasks. Under the frozen Open-Discovery Score (ODS), QuantumMind obtains 53.1 mean ODS, exceeding the strongest baseline by 17.3 points (48.2% relative), and wins 355 of 582 paired tasks against that baseline. It passes the graph audit on 99.8% of tasks, compared with 43.6% for the strongest baseline, and ranks first in all seven task families. The results indicate that typed state transitions and deterministic evidence control contribute beyond fluent generation alone.

  This paper presents LintQ, a comprehensive static analysis framework for detecting bugs in quantum programs. Our approach is enabled by a set of abstractions designed to reason about common concepts in quantum computing without referring to the underlying quantum computing platform. We apply the approach to a newly collected dataset of 7,568 real-world Qiskit-based quantum programs, showing that LintQ effectively identifies various programming problems.
