Abstract: Quantum software debugging faces significant challenges due to measurement-induced state collapse, decoherence, and gate noise. We introduce AssertsQ, a framework that integrates assertion-based debugging into Qiskit, enabling automated verification of quantum circuits. AssertsQ provides three key validation methods: Swap Test-based state fidelity checks, measurement-based Total Variation Distance (TVD) comparisons, and noise-aware assertions adaptable to real hardware constraints. Our evaluation on benchmark circuits, including GHZ, QFT, and Grover’s algorithm, demonstrates the framework’s ability to detect errors and quantify fidelity degradation under noise. By simplifying quantum circuit verification, AssertsQ enhances the reliability of quantum software in the NISQ era.
