SQD-Agent: LLM-driven agentic framework for Quantum Chemistry workflows
A preprint on arXiv introduces SQD-Agent, an LLM-driven agentic framework designed to help researchers translate quantum chemistry problems into executable hybrid quantum-classical workflows. The abstract frames the core barrier as the need for expertise in quantum algorithms and hardware-specific details, which the framework aims to reduce.

If SQD-Agent can validate the quantum circuits it generates against classical quantum chemistry benchmarks, it could give computational chemists without quantum algorithm expertise a usable entry point for small hybrid variational calculations on available hardware within two years.
LLMs already generate structured code and workflow templates, and existing libraries such as Qiskit and PennyLane provide interfaces for hybrid quantum-classical chemistry; the gating precondition is reliable automated checking of circuit correctness and hardware constraints, which remains difficult for arbitrary molecules.
