WalkthroughThis PR adds shared qubit-layout provenance across MLIR, native target compilation, Qiskit translation, compiler pipelines, CLI output, and Python bindings. It tracks initial and final placement, preserves supported metadata, invalidates stale metadata, and requires explicit discard for lossy outputs. ChangesQubit layout provenance

In `@mlir/lib/Dialect/MQT/IR/MQTDialect.cpp`:
- Line 774: Update prepareLayout’s validation so operation-type support is
checked independently from tensor width, allowing a zero-slot tensor with an
empty indices array while still rejecting unsupported operation types and
mismatched non-empty index counts. Use the existing operation-type validation
symbol near the width check rather than treating width == 0 as invalid.
In `@mlir/lib/Dialect/MQT/IR/QubitLayout.cpp`:
- Around line 190-197: Update discardQubitLayout and requireNoQubitLayout to
traverse every nested ModuleOp, matching invalidateQubitLayout’s module-tree
processing. Remove layout attributes from all nested modules during discard, and
reject the boundary if any nested module has mqt.layout or
mqt.layout_invalidated.

Let me try to get a quick review in here. Don't want to be the blocker here. |
Skip layout tracking when preplaced qubits use placement that does not record their device sites. Reject programs with an attached layout during target compilation instead of silently replacing it. Remove the completed internal plan and align the public docs and tests with these limits. Assisted-by: Codex
Run the existing layout preparation for synthesis-only target pipelines as well as full compilation. Placement can then attach the program-to-device mapping for allocated qubits, including idle device sites. Cover the output and keep the topology rejection test on an untouched input program. Assisted-by: Codex
Reject mixed static and dynamic qubit allocations at the program boundary. Skip placement and routing for static circuits, including programs whose qubits disappear during cleanup. Check two-qubit topology independently of native-gate support and allow synthesis on explicit topologies when site IDs are already fixed. Preserve native wider gates on static circuits. Remove mixed-mode compiler tests, cover the no-workspace path, and update the target-compilation API guidance. Assisted-by: GPT-6 via Codex

Alright. I took this for another spin and simplified a few things I stumbled upon.
This should be good to go for a first version now. I am going to merge this now while CI is green so that the other PRs can directly pick up on it before I go to sleep. Feel free to submit follow-up PRs later on!

Keep the computed pulse plan internal instead of exposing it through Python. Assisted-by: GPT-6 via Codex * 🔧 Scope pulse synthesis includes to their library 🤖 *AI text below* 🤖 Use a private include root for the shared synthesis helper, avoiding parent-directory traversal without installing implementation details. Assisted-by: GPT-6 via Codex * 🐛 Preserve fixed-pulse lowering during fusion 🤖 *AI text below* 🤖 Keep fixed-pulse targets out of the new target-aware fusion stage. Generic fusion lacks their pulse descriptor and rotation simplification can undo constrained angles, causing assertions or repeated rewrites. The existing fixed-pulse lowering handles these targets directly. Existing full-unitary synthesis tests cover constant and runtime angles across all supported rotation axes. Assisted-by: GPT-6 via Codex * ⚡ Reuse cached fixed-pulse bases during routing 🤖 *AI text below* 🤖 The native-cost routing code now queries the target basis repeatedly. Borrow its cached pulse recipe through routing and synthesis instead of copying the vector at each query and emission. Keep Python property access independent through an explicit copy policy. Check fixed-pulse cost estimates against native emission and full-unitary semantics. Document the remaining fusion and synthesis limits. Assisted-by: GPT-6 via Codex * 📝 Clarify native-only target compilation limits 🤖 *AI text below* 🤖 Matching each input gate does not guarantee successful compilation when no synthesis basis exists. Optimizations can combine native gates into an unsupported gate or angle. Record this existing limitation separately from the fixed-pulse synthesis contract. Assisted-by: GPT-6 via Codex * 🐛 Preserve native gate sequences during target cleanup 🤖 *AI text below* 🤖 Keep gate-changing canonicalization out of explicit-target cleanup, including the inliner, so targets without a universal basis can compile native sequences. Keep structural cleanup and unrestricted-target optimization unchanged. Use the cached fixed-pulse recipe for numeric run fusion. Preserve native runs unless synthesis reduces their gate count.

Assisted-by: GPT-6 via Codex * ♻️ Simplify target synthesis integration 🤖 *AI text below* 🤖 Keep shared pulse formulas in the existing Euler utilities and structural canonicalization in target synthesis.

Assisted-by: GPT-6 via Codex * ♻️ Trim target setup and cleanup branches 🤖 *AI text below* 🤖 Build fixed pulses directly in their result storage and move the selected recipe into the cached basis. Stop before entangler selection when no single-qubit basis exists. Let the canonicalizer factory choose cleanup without duplicating that branch in the target pipeline. Assisted-by: GPT-6 via Codex * ♻️ Centralize target cleanup selection 🤖 *AI text below* 🤖 Reuse the shared QCO cleanup sequence with the target canonicalizer. Select gate preservation in the canonicalizer and inliner factories, removing duplicated cleanup and boolean policy wiring from the target pipelines. Preserve the standard inliner for unrestricted targets.

Regenerate the Python stubs and record reproducible validation commands with their local scope. Assisted-by: GPT-5 via Codex * ♻️ Limit fixed-pulse synthesis to native RX gates 🤖 *AI text below* 🤖 Keep fixed-parameter capability matching general while limiting synthesis to unrestricted RZ and native RX quarter turns with optional half turns. Remove arbitrary-angle recipes, coordinate conversion, and pulse storage. Merge the unrestricted RZ axis before and after synthesis, preserving phase, symbolic cancellation, and parameter dominance. Keep fixed RX pulses intact and document the supported hardware scope. Assisted-by: GPT-6 via Codex * 🧪 Cover fixed-pulse targets with routed layouts 🤖 *AI text below* 🤖 Exercise RZ, fixed RX quarter turns, and iSWAP in the existing layout export regression after rebasing onto #2553.

Assisted-by: GPT-6 via Codex * ♻️ Reuse ZSXX for constrained target pulses 🤖 *AI text below* 🤖 Use the existing ZSXX decomposition for named SX/X gates and signed fixed RX quarter turns with optional half turns. Require a usable single-qubit synthesis basis for target compilation and remove special cleanup APIs. Preserve distinct instruction names and fixed parameter alternatives in Qiskit target import and circuit export. Keep phase and placement checks, and prioritize current Braket devices while leaving ion gates to #2578. Refresh the contract documentation and record native, Python, lint, and executable documentation validation after independent design review.

A cached editable wheel can omit generated MLIR reference pages, causing missing includes and secondary heading warnings in a clean tree. The strict executable documentation build and generated-page link check pass with the rebuilt artifacts.

Description
Target compilation records the initial program-to-device placement and final routing permutation in
mqt.layoutfor dynamic qubits. Qiskit export reconstructs a completeTranspileLayout, including idle inputs and routing through unused device qubits. Fixes #2070.Static qubits already identify device sites. Compilation and synthesis keep those site IDs, skip placement and routing, and reject two-qubit operations that do not fit an explicit topology, even when the target reports unrestricted native operations. Synthesis without routing accepts static circuits on explicit topologies. Supported gates acting on three or more qubits use a target-independent decomposition before routing and native synthesis. Native wider gates can remain on static circuits or all-to-all targets.
