Observing the Quantum Compiler through Automatic Experiment Tracking for Qiskit
Abstract
Understanding the effectiveness of quantum compilation techniques requires visibility into the entire transpilation process, not just the final circuit metrics. This demonstration presents an MLflow-inspired autologging framework for Qiskit that automatically captures compiler provenance, including transpilation stages, pass-level execution data, backend characteristics, compiler configuration, and execution results. The framework extends the QProv provenance model with compiler-specific information and stores the collected data in an MLflow Tracking Server for analysis and visualization. By eliminating manual instrumentation, the proposed approach improves compiler observability and supports reproducible evaluation of quantum compilation workflows.
