Contextual literature comparators

Source: Ruiz et al., Quantum Circuit Optimization with AlphaTensor, Table 2 of the downloaded arXiv paper (checked 2026-10-13); journal article. These are the paper's without-gadgets counts, not a current comprehensive state-of-the-art survey. The paper reports compiled widths that can exceed original widths and sometimes splits circuits. The baseline column includes results obtained by the authors (dagger-marked in the source), not only earlier published results.

Compatibility is unverified for every row: exact source-circuit identity, unitary semantics, compiled ancillas and the TfP CX cap have not been jointly checked. These numbers must not be promoted to TfP-verified records. Gadgetized results are excluded because their resource assumptions differ from this track.
