A system generates qubit mapping and routing compilers from a compact specification and a device graph, using an Amara language frontend and a parametric solver backend that runs simulated annealing over a greedy scheduling template. Evaluation covers seven device models and 243 circuits; generated compilers match IBM Qiskit swap counts in roughly half the benchmarks, improve estimated success probability in about half, and beat a baseline for a proposed neutral atom + surface code design in 93% of cases, with a Google use case reported.
