| 2026 | Formal Verification of Quantum Ancilla SafetyabstractAbstract Ensuring ancilla safety is a critical correctness requirement for quantum compilation, since ancilla qubits are routinely introduced to implement complex operations with fewer gates and reduced depth. However, formally verifying this property is computationally hard due to state-space explosion in the number of qubits, particularly for dirty ancillae, which carry unknown initial states and must be restored after use. We propose an end-to-end verification-and-repair framework that rigorously addresses both clean and dirty ancilla safety. Our core contribution is a two-step reduction strategy: we first prove that verifying an m -qubit dirty ancilla register decomposes into 2 m independent clean ancilla safety checks; subsequently, we reduce each clean ancilla safety instance to an algebraic commutativity check against Pauli- Z and Pauli- X operators. This approach yields an efficient and naturally parallel verifier and enables actionable diagnosis by classifying violations into logic errors and phase errors. Leveraging this diagnosis, we further design lightweight repair routines that append local single-qubit rotations to eliminate a broad class of local ancilla faults. We implement the full pipeline in a prototype tool using a dual-backend architecture combining decision diagrams and weighted model counting, and validate it on diverse circuits ranging from arithmetic benchmarks to Grover’s algorithm. Our experiments demonstrate scalability to thousands of qubits and show that the proposed repairs effectively improve ancilla safety while preserving circuit functionality.
