Ok, the CI errors should be resolved now. They were due to a regression in the codecov action that would request an OIDC token even from forks (which do not have the right permissions). |

Hi @Claudiaaaaaaaaa,
This looks pretty good right now. I only found two major concerns, the rest is just nitpicking. Would you be kind and shed some light on my questions? Thanks for your awesome job.

Applied and updated to match the current implementation. The block now follows @brief, @details, @param, and @return, with the helper’s preconditions documented afterwards.

As above, I would recommend the order @brief, @details, @param, @return as this conincides how the information would be displayed in docs generated by doxygen, for example.

Applied throughout the class documentation. The Doxygen blocks now use the requested order wherever the corresponding sections apply.

When I am looking at this function with very special arguments, I wonder whether it might be better to have the variables that are arguments right now as members of the class. Then, the function would not have any arguments but, when called, would still initialize the class members.
Additionally: Does that function need to be public, or can it be private? This already applies to the function above, I guess.

Done. The pattern maps are now members of DDMinimizer, initializeDataStructure only takes the qubit count and is private, and the obsolete makeDataStructure helper has been removed.

I do not understand the use of layer. If I am not mistaken, layer serves as an identity mapping.
If you have trouble with converting std::size_t to qc::Qubit you can use cast functions, e.g., static_cast<qc::Qubit>(...).

You were right—the layer vector was only an identity mapping. It has been removed, and the permutation is now populated directly from layout.

From the name of the function and the code, I expect that it returns the maximum value of all key, value pairs (even though findMaxIndex might be missleading since Index would suggest key not value).
I do not understand why the maxIndex is reset to -1 if the value of -1 is encountered. Is there a reason for that? If yes, I think then the output of the function depends on the order the map returns the elements which can be arbitrary and the return value should be independent from the order. However, maybe I am overseeing here something. Then let me know.

Good point. I replaced the -1 sentinel with std::optional and renamed the helper to getCompletePatternEnd. It now returns std::nullopt as soon as any required gate is missing; only a complete pattern yields the maximum instruction index, so the result no longer has an ambiguous order-dependent interpretation.

This comment disappeared with the recursive weight-adjustment code. The fallback now uses a deterministic control-dependency ordering and preserves the existing layout when the dependency graph contains a cycle.

@burgholzer, this code looks quite clean right now. I just submitted another review that, however, only contains very few requests. Perhaps, if you find the time, you can also already have a look. |

Description
🤖 AI text below 🤖
The original decision-diagram reordering implementation in this PR was developed by @DuenzingerClaudia. The subsequent update brings that work to the current codebase and refines the controlled-gate heuristic, multi-step rotations, and mixed-pattern priority handling. It also normalizes existing layouts, uses a deterministic dependency ordering when no complete pattern is found, and covers edge cases with regression tests.
The runtime of DDs depends on the order of the nodes in the diagram. This PR implements a tool that tries to find the optimal or near-optimal order of nodes resulting in the minimal runtime.
