Quantum Circuit Assistant

Describe a quantum chemistry or optimisation problem in plain language. A four-stage AI pipeline translates it into mathematics, generates a Qiskit or PennyLane circuit, validates it with classical simulation, and dispatches to a cloud QPU (Rigetti / Quantinuum).

1

Advisor — translates prompt to math

2

Developer — generates Qiskit / PennyLane circuit

3

Evaluator — simulates & self-corrects

4

Deployer — dispatches to QPU
