This paper presents a new data structure, called \emph{Weighted Context-Free-Language Ordered BDDs} (WCFLOBDDs), which are a hierarchically structured decision diagram, akin to Weighted BDDs (WBDDs) enhanced with a procedure-call mechanism. For some functions, WCFLOBDDs are exponentially more succinct than WBDDs. They are potentially beneficial for representing functions of type $\mathbb{B}^n \rightarrow D$, when a function’s image $V \subseteq D$ has many different values. We apply WCFLOBDDs in quantum-circuit simulation, and find that they perform better than WBDDs on certain benchmarks. With a 15-minute timeout, the number of qubits that can be handled by WCFLOBDDs is 1-64$\times$ that of WBDDs (and 1-128$\times$ that of CFLOBDDs, which are an unweighted version of WCFLOBDDs). These results support the conclusion that for this application WCFLOBDDs provide the best of both worlds—with performance roughly matching whichever of WBDDs and CFLOBDDs is better.
