Isobel Hooper contributed to CQCL/qnexus and CQCL/pytket-quantinuum by delivering targeted backend and CI/CD improvements over three months. She enhanced CI reliability in qnexus by pinning GitHub Actions runners to Ubuntu 24.04, standardizing environments and reducing build flakiness using YAML and GitHub Actions. In pytket-quantinuum, she introduced a Clifford circuit predicate to the QuantinuumBackend, ensuring the stabilizer simulator processes only valid Clifford circuits, which improved simulation integrity and reliability. Additionally, she implemented cost-control features and enhanced job timing visibility for HQC workloads, leveraging Python and API integration to provide users with predictable hardware spend and clearer runtime insights.

Summary for May 2025 (CQCL/pytket-quantinuum): Focused on delivering cost-control and visibility enhancements for the Quantinuum backend to improve hardware spend predictability and job timing insight. No major bugs fixed this month. The work delivers business value by enabling cost caps on HQC processing, improving scheduling visibility, and maintaining clear release notes for users. Demonstrated technologies include Python backend enhancements, API parameterization, robust job-status parsing, and changelog maintenance. Overall impact: improved cost predictability for HQC workloads and clearer runtime visibility for users.
