Sam Westrick @shwestrick.bsky.social · 24/10/2025happy to announce that, earlier this Fall, our QCE'25 paper "Local Optimization of Quantum Circuits" received a Best Paper award! cs.nyu.edu/~shw8119/25/...cs.nyu.edu 150
Sam Westrick @shwestrick.bsky.social · 24/10/2025the key challenge here is optimizing a large quantum circuit (with, e.g., hundreds of thousands of gates) many existing tools are essentially superoptimizers, with exponential search spaces, and therefore can only handle "small" circuits in a reasonable amount of time/space 100
