Large Language Models (LLMs) have transformed many aspects of software development, especially code generation. However, the evaluation of quantum code generation has largely remained confined to isolated frameworks. This situation has obscured the true capabilities of LLMs when applied across differing quantum programming environments.
Enter QuanBench+, a new unified benchmark designed to bridge this gap. It spans popular quantum frameworks, including Qiskit, PennyLane, and Cirq, and features 42 aligned tasks focused on quantum algorithms, gate decomposition, and state preparation. This initiative aims to disentangle the effects of quantum reasoning from individual framework proficiency.
In a series of tests, models were evaluated with executable code checks, yielding metrics like Pass@1 and Pass@5, and incorporating a novel feedback-based repair mechanism. Results demonstrated significant improvement: the best one-shot scores reached 59.5% in Qiskit, 54.8% in Cirq, and 42.9% in PennyLane. After implementing feedback repair, scores soared to 83.3%, 76.2%, and 66.7%, respectively, highlighting the potential for iterative learning in LLMs.
Though the benchmarks reveal promising advancements in LLM capabilities, challenges remain. The findings underscore that reliable quantum code generation across multiple frameworks is not yet fully realized, indicating a continued reliance on specific framework knowledge. As the field matures, addressing these dependencies will be crucial for broader applications of quantum code generation.
