July 2025: Delivered fixes and quality improvements for MQTOptDialect in the cda-tum/mqt-core repo. Implemented no-target unit operation parsing and assembly formatting fixes with a NoTargetUnitaryOp refactor, improving parsing/printing for operations without target qubits (including control/neg-control). Performed thorough code quality cleanups in the MQTOpt parser and resolved clang-tidy and linter issues. Updated the changelog to document the GPhase parsing fix and added a link to the associated PR for traceability. These changes enhance dialect reliability, reduce integration risk, and improve overall maintainability and user trust in MLIR-based workflows.
