Abstract:Realizing large-scale quantum advantage is expected to require quantum error correction (QEC), making the compilation and optimization of logical operations a critical area of research. Logical computation imposes distinct constraints and operational paradigms that differ from those of the Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) regime, motivating the continued evolution of compilation tools. Given the complexity of this emerging stack, where factors such as gate decomposition precision and computational models must be co-designed, standardized benchmarks and toolkits are valuable for evaluating progress. To support this need, we introduce FTCircuitBench, which serves as: (1) a benchmark suite of impactful quantum algorithms, featuring pre-compiled instances in both Clifford+T and Pauli Based Computation models; (2) a modular end-to-end pipeline allowing users to compile and decompose algorithms for various fault-tolerant architectures, supporting both prebuilt and custom optimization passes; and (3) a toolkit for evaluating the impact of algorithms and optimization across the full compilation stack, providing detailed numerical analysis at each stage. FTCircuitBench is fully open-sourced and maintained on Github.
