State minimization

Hello all. I am wondering if Quartus ii performs any state minimization, and if so, how is it used/enabled? Thank you

Do you explicitly mean states, or logic?

State machines are encoded using one of several methods. Grey code, one hot and counter. By default it will encode 1 hot. Minimization can occur during synthesis

I mean eliminating redundant states.

Thank you very much for your time
