To prove the value of the idea in the context of the simulation and verification of noisy quantum circuits.  \nTarget university partner competences  \nAutomated Reasoning, Formal Methods, Theoretical Computer Science  \nACT provided competences  \nQuantum Computing, Fundamental Physics  \nKeywords  \nQuantum Computing, Model Counting, Simulation, Encodings  \nStudy Objective  \nThis study will examine either the theoretical background of algorithms and encoding techniques to manage complex weights in existing model counting pipelines, or the development of new model counters that support complex weights by design. Based on the chosen path, a new model-countingbased pipeline to simulate and verify quantum circuits with noise will be implemented, utilizing either existing counters in conjunction with the new encoding, or using the model counter developed within this study. The performance of the pipeline shall be assessed by comparing it to other quantum circuit simulators that support noise (e.g., Qiskit) and by benchmarking it on a broader range of model counting instances. To support this endeavour, the participation in computational challenges (e.g., the corresponding track of the model counting competition) is encouraged.  \nBackground and Study Motivation  \nInterest in gate-based quantum computing has grown steadily in recent years, largely due to advancements in qubit scaling and improvements in error correction. Companies like IBM and Atom  \nComputing have announced processors with over 1,000 qubits, marking important progress toward practical, large-scale quantum computers [1, 2] . While the increase in qubit count is notable, ongoing improvements in gate fidelity and coherence times are equally important for the realization of useful quantum systems.  \nIn the space domain, researchers are exploring quantum computing for optimizing satellite communication, mission scheduling, and processing large volumes of remote sensing data. For example, quantum algorithms have been proposed for satellite constellation optimization [4] and quantum machine learning techniques for analysing space-based sensor data [5] . The European Space Agency has initiated projects to assess quantum computing’s impact on Earth observation [6,7] .  \nHowever, scalable quantum computing remains a distant goal, as current hardware is limited by noise, qubit connectivity, and the overhead of quantum error correction [8,9] . As a result, near-term exploration of quantum applications must rely heavily on classical simulators to assess the performance, robustness, and practical feasibility of quantum algorithms [10,11] . These simulators provide a crucial testing ground for studying quantum behaviour under realistic noise models and device constraints. Furthermore, once practical quantum computers become available, simulators will continue to play a vital role in the verification and debugging of quantum programs—ensuring correctness, identifying sources of error, and validating outputs that are otherwise intractable to compute classically [12] .  \nFigure 1: A probabilistic circuit with three inputs and one output. The gates with dice flip the input with a certain probability, the other are the usual logical gates. In orange the layers of the circuit are highlighted, which are referenced in the encoding in Figure 2.  \nAutomated Reasoning emerged as a promising route in the quantum software development stack. For instance, SAT is used for quantum circuit mapping [20], MaxSAT is used to decode quantum colour codes [13], for quantum error correction decoders [14], and was deployed by ACT researchers as an intuitive interface to near-term qua","cbCaibVutaY7Xuhy","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibVutaY7Xuhy","pdf",265688,"English","# Project Summary\n## Objective\n## Study Objective\n## Background and Study Motivation\n## Technical Rationale and Approach\n## Figures and Illustrative Examples","[{\"question\":\"What is the main objective of the study?\",\"answer\":\"To significantly advance automated reasoning techniques by introducing complex numbers into model counting methods, enabling simulation and verification of noisy quantum circuits and demonstrating the value of this idea.\"},{\"question\":\"How will the study implement support for complex weights?\",\"answer\":\"It will either develop theory and encodings that extend existing model-counting pipelines to manage complex weights, or build new model counters that support complex weights by design.\"},{\"question\":\"How will the proposed pipeline be evaluated?\",\"answer\":\"Performance will be assessed by comparing against noisy quantum circuit simulators such as Qiskit and by benchmarking on a broader range of model counting instances.\"}]","Automated Reasoning with Complex Weights to Simulate and Verify Noisy Quantum Circuits - Study reference 24-5100 | PDF",13]
