contents We review thirteen generative systems and five supporting datasets for quantum circuit and quantum code generation, identified through a structured scoping review of Hugging Face, arXiv, and provenance tracing (January-February 2026). We organize the field along two axes: artifact type (Qiskit code, OpenQASM programs, circuit graphs); crossed with training regime (supervised fine-tuning, verifier-in-the-loop RL, diffusion/graph generation, agentic optimization); and systematically apply a three-layer evaluation framework covering syntactic validity, semantic correctness, and hardware executability. The central finding is that while all reviewed systems address syntax and most address semantics to some degree, none reports end-to-end evaluation on quantum hardware (Layer 3b), leaving a significant gap between generated circuits and practical deployment. Scope note: quantum code refers throughout to quantum program artifacts (QASM, Qiskit); we do not cover generation of quantum error-correcting codes (QEC).
