Add new actions and improves handling of stochastic actions #449

Shaobo-Zhou · 2025-09-06T13:27:04Z

Description

This PR introduces new actions to the reinforcement learning environment and adds support for stochastic mapping passes:

🚀 Major Changes
Expanded Action Space

Added AIRouting as a routing/mapping option and wrapped in SafeAIRouting for stable integration into the RL pipeline.
Added tket layout actions: GraphPlacement and NoiseAwarePlacement (fidelity-aware).

Support for Stochastic Passes

Wrapped stochastic actions (e.g., AIRouting, SabreLayout) in a multi-trial evaluation loop, optimizing for the figure of merit instead of the default gate count internally in Qiskit passes.
Introduced max_iterations as parameters to control trial counts, enabling improved predictor performance and stability.

**Changes in determine_valid_actions_for_state**

Refined the logic: After a circuit is mapped, only mapping-preserving optimization actions are allowed to prevent reusing outdated layouts when the circuit structure changes.

Fixes and Enhancements

Fixed a bug in OptimizeCliffords by ensuring CollectCliffords runs beforehand.
Corrected computation of estimated success probability in reward.py
Fixed incorrect usage of GatesInBasis in rl/predictorenv.py
Adjusted benchmark level to INDEP in test_predictor_rl.py, since the current action space does not guarantee support for high-level gates.
Disabled multiprocessing on Windows with Python 3.13 due to _posixsubprocess issues.

Dependency Update

Added qiskit-ibm-ai-local-transpiler to the dependencies
Pinned networkx==2.8.5 to ensure compatibility with qiskit-ibm-ai-local-transpiler
Upgraded pytket_qiskit>=0.71.0

Hey @Shaobo-Zhou, we just merged #468 to fix the CI on main. The PR contains the minimum version bumps necessary to make everything work again. I hope the rebase is not too bad. 🙂

This seems to have worked fine! I just had two quick points regarding the rebase. 🙂
