Quantum API Drift
Quantum API Drift is an evaluation benchmark for measuring whether LLM-generated quantum code targets the requested Qiskit SDK version. It accompanies the paper Benchmarking API Drift in LLM-Generated Quantum Code Across Successive SDK Versions.
The benchmark evaluates version fidelity, cross-version compatibility, failure modes, and documentation-guided repair across Qiskit 0.43, 1.3, and 2.0.
Dataset Configurations
benchmark
The default configuration contains 50 evaluation tasks. Each row has:
id: the upstream Qiskit HumanEval task identifierdescription: the natural-language coding taskentry_point: the function the generated code must definetest_call: executable assertions used by the benchmark harness
Load it with:
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("arasyi/quantum-api-drift")
tasks = dataset["test"]
version_anchored
This configuration contains 150 prompts: one prompt for each combination of 50 tasks and three requested SDK versions. Each row has:
id: the source task identifierversion:v0,v1, orv2entry_point: the required function nametest_call: executable assertionsprompt: the complete SDK-version-anchored generation prompt
The version labels map to Qiskit releases as follows:
| Label | Qiskit version |
|---|---|
v0 |
0.43 |
v1 |
1.3 |
v2 |
2.0 |
Load it with:
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset(
"arasyi/quantum-api-drift",
"version_anchored",
)
prompts = dataset["test"]
Auxiliary Files
The migration_notes/ directory contains the migration guidance used by the
documentation-guided repair experiments:
v0_to_v1.txt: Qiskit 0.43 to 1.3v1_to_v2.txt: Qiskit 1.3 to 2.0
These files are research artifacts and are not loaded as dataset rows.
Source and Modifications
The task descriptions and identifiers are derived from the Qiskit HumanEval dataset and its source repository, which are distributed under the Apache License 2.0.
Quantum API Drift modifies the upstream material by selecting 50 tasks,
adapting executable test calls for cross-version evaluation, and constructing
SDK-version-specific prompts. The modification and attribution notice is also
provided in NOTICE.
Intended Use
This dataset is intended for evaluating version-aware quantum code generation,
cross-version execution compatibility, API-drift failure modes, and
documentation-guided repair. All rows are evaluation data and are published in
the test split; they should not be presented as a training split.
Limitations
- The benchmark measures API-level and execution-level validity, not full semantic circuit correctness.
- Results depend on the execution environment and pinned Qiskit versions.
- Repair results depend on the supplied migration notes.
- The source benchmark and this derivative are public, so evaluations should discuss possible benchmark contamination.
- Model generations, execution traces, and aggregate paper results are not included in this dataset repository.
