Hybrid oscillator-qubit processors have recently demonstrated high-fidelity control of both continuous- and discrete-variable information processing. However, most quantum algorithms remain limited to homogeneous quantum architectures. Here, we present a compiler for hybrid oscillator-qubit processors that implements state preparation and time evolution. In this setting, the compiler invokes generalized quantum signal processing (GQSP) to synthesize arbitrary analytic bosonic phase gates in a constructive manner, with circuit depth scaling as . The approximation cost scales with the Fourier bandwidth of the target bosonic phase, rather than with the degree of nonlinearity. Armed with OQ-GQSP, multi-state vibronic coupling Hamiltonian dynamics can be decomposed into state-dependent arbitrary-phase potential propagators, which also enable extension to multi-state systems through the parity-measurement technique. Compared to fully discrete encodings, our approach avoids the overhead of truncating continuous variables, resulting in linear dependence on the number of vibrational modes. We validate our method on the uracil cation, a canonical system whose accurate modeling requires anharmonic vibronic models, and estimate the cost of state preparation and time evolution.
