Description

This PR is a first step towards refactoring the quantum_variable file.
Mainly the goal of the PR is to do general cleanup of quantum_variable such as
explicitly declaring instance/class attributes of QuantumVariable as well as
adding missing typings in various places(will be added in other places).
Most importantly this PR refactors the QuantumVariable's __init__ method and
delegates the qv's name generation to the QuantumSession.

Note: I have used the same approach for name generation in duplicate that I used in __init__. This means if name argument is provided a numerical suffix should be added if the name already exists in the QuantumSession. Since the quantum session there is a fresh one, this should never happen, but it is more convenient to use the same methodology...

Type of Change

  • Feature (new functionality)
  • Change Request (modification of existing functionality) - Practically none but technically there is a slight change in logic for name generation in duplicate, see above note. Also there are some bug fixes.
  • Bug Fix
  • Refactoring (no behavior change)
  • Performance improvement
  • Documentation
  • CI / Build

Breaking Change?

  • Yes
  • No
  • Not sure - see above note, moreover there are bug fixes

What was changed?

  • Explicit instance/class attributes were added to QuantumVariable (quantum_variable.py)
  • Typings added in the same file
  • Some docstrings added
  • Most importantly, name generation logic is now delegated to QuantumSession, and init method is more concise now.
  • Necessary relevant changes were done in other files too
  • Bug fixed in session_merging_tool's resolve_naming_collisions:
    In the "qv_0 is newer" conditional branch it originally checked qv_1.user_given_name(.is_fixed_name now), where it should have checked qv_0's. As a result, merging two sessions could rename a variable with an explicitly given (fixed) name. Now a fixed name is never renamed (session_merging_tools.py:243).
  • For calls of the form duplicate(name="foo*") the variable being duplicated was changed. self.user_given_name was set to False, instead of the duplicate's. This is fixed now.

How was it tested?

Some tests were ran locally.
Will update this when CI passes.

Checklist

  • My code follows the project's coding standards
  • I have performed a self-review
  • I have added/updated tests (referencing issue Test-IDs)
  • All tests pass locally and in CI
  • I have updated the documentation
  • I have added a changelog entry to changelog-dev.rst
  • Breaking changes are documented with migration path

Reviewer Notes

  • One change that required multiple file change, is the change of the attribute
    usre_given_name to is_fixed_name. The rationale for changing the name is
    that this attribute is used to determine if the QuantumVariable can be renamed or not.
    The earlier name doesn't seem to convey that semantics, but rather conveys why
    the boolean is set to True or False which can be confusing at conditions
    involving the attribute. Let me know if you disagree with this part ofc.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Quantum variables now receive more consistent names. Explicit name conflicts are reported, while names marked for automatic suffixing can be made unique.
    • Measurement results can be retrieved using a precompiled circuit, with parameter binding and preprocessing still applied.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Variables with fixed names retain those names when quantum sessions are combined.
  • Improvements

    • Operations unsupported during tracing now raise a dedicated error, making tracing limitations clearer.

I think this makes sense (we might create another constructor for DecodedMeasurementResult, but it makes sense to leave a TODO here and do it in a follow-up PR).

For context, this DecodedMeasurementResult was introduced recently in the backend refactoring process

Do you mind if I ask for a Copilot review before I take a closer look? I recently started using it for my own PRs, and it seems to be quite useful (although it lacks context and/or hallucinates in some cases)

📝 Walkthrough

QuantumSession now centralizes quantum-variable naming and registration and tracks active sessions at the class level. QuantumVariable delegates naming to the session and updates several operations. Unsupported tracing-mode operations raise TracingModeError. New tests cover naming, registration, and deletion behavior.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~40 minutes

Change: Refactor

Suggested reviewers: positr0nium

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9828c

Repeated duplicates created while tracing can share a name, so deleting one may remove a different variable from session bookkeeping. This should be resolved or explicitly accepted before merge. A small docstring typo will also produce a documentation build warning.

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 9828c

The examined changes do not establish a new privileged execution path or security-control bypass. However, registration using supplied qubits can leave variable and resource ownership inconsistent. The potential impact is bounded to circuit lifecycle behavior, and incomplete coverage prevents a minimal-risk conclusion.

Retained concerns

  • Low · architecture · inferred: Ordinary duplicate registration can now succeed with supplied qubits while assigning the duplicate to a fresh session that does not own those qubits. Unless the optional merge establishes ownership, the returned variable's register and session disagree. This can leave a globally tracked variable whose session cannot perform its lifecycle operations. Previously, ordinary registration with size=None failed during allocation. Merging with the owning session can avoid the mismatch, and deletion's membership check rejects foreign qubits rather than silently freeing them.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The identified ownership risk affects variables, registers and sessions within the caller's process. The examined paths do not establish cross-tenant access or increased credential authority. Backend-specific authorization and downstream service exposure were not inspected.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Tracing construction continues to select the tracing singleton rather than making a caller-supplied ordinary session authoritative. Measurement rejects tracing sessions before backend execution, and ordinary deletion rejects registers containing qubits outside the session.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Active-session tracking uses weak references, removes dead entries and deduplicates sessions. Replacement of the shared tracker remains unsynchronized, but the same replacement pattern exists in the PR base; it is not retained as an introduced concurrency concern.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — For supplied-qubit duplication, establish or validate the owning session before publishing the variable to active and global tracking lists. Reject inconsistent ownership before registration, or complete the ownership transfer as one failure-contained transition.

79-111: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add a public QuantumVariable.duplicate() naming test.

The changed tests call QuantumSession.generate_name() directly. They do not execute QuantumVariable.duplicate(). Existing duplicate() tests check downstream behavior, but not the duplicate name, session, or registration. A regression in the public caller can therefore pass while the helper remains correct.

This is just because the header files should be comments, not strings. Otherwise Python treats it as the module docstring (__doc__), not just inert text.

Actually, I am not sure we should insert TracingQuantumSession in the public documentation, since this is something internal that the user should not call directly (unlike qache, boolean_simulation, etc.) so I would just replace the sphinx link with the `` notation.

Following up from above: since TracingQuantumSession should stay internal, could you please drop reference/Jasp/TracingQuantumSession.rst and its index entry, and turn the four :class: links into plain ``TracingQuantumSession`` literals? I think this is the agreement we reached, but perhaps I misunderstood

Following up from above: since TracingQuantumSession should stay internal, could you please drop reference/Jasp/TracingQuantumSession.rst and its index entry, and turn the four :class: links into plain ``TracingQuantumSession`` literals? I think this is the agreement we reached, but perhaps I misunderstood

I refactored the tests a little and made em more structured.

Thanks Omar!

From my side this is good to go.

AI still finds some edge cases such as:

from qrisp import QuantumVariable

def f():
    qv \
        = QuantumVariable(2)
    return qv.name

f()
# main:    ''  (no error)
# this PR: IndexError: list index out of range

or

from qrisp import QuantumVariable

q = QuantumVariable(None)
# main:    TypeError: 'NoneType' object cannot be interpreted as an integer
# this PR: no error, q is registered in q.qs without a reg
QuantumVariable(1, qs=q.qs)
q.qs.compile()  # AttributeError: 'QuantumVariable' object has no attribute 'reg'
q.delete()      # same AttributeError

But I personally consider these as edge cases that we should not worry about as I don't see what would be the interest of a user in supporting such cases.

The former is just someone trying to break our code introspection at this point xD
The latter is also weird usage but we can check against it I guess.
If a user say passes a variable and not a literal to QuantumVariable's constructor but didn't notice that the variable is None, we shd catch that early.

…factor/reorganize-utility-files

Conflicts in quantum_session.py and quantum_variable.py combine main's
QuantumVariable naming cleanup (#882) with this branch's moves out of
qrisp.misc. QuantumVariableNamingError stays at the top of
quantum_session.py as on main, and the statevector helpers stay at the
bottom as on this branch.

Main hoisted custom_qv and get_measurement_from_qc into the module level
qrisp.misc import of quantum_variable.py. custom_qv now lives in that same
module, and get_measurement_from_qc stays a local import from
qrisp.interface.measurement_result to avoid the core/interface cycle.

Main's new resource estimation tests (and test_cuccaro_adder.py) now import
the measurement-behavior helpers from evaluation_tools.profiler and
get_measurement_from_qc from qrisp.interface, matching this branch.
