We start by explaining what Quantum Architecture Search is about, followed by an explanation of various proxies used in the implemented search, namely Expressivity and Entanglement == Quantum Architecture Search The act of finding the best parametrized quantum circuit to optimize for a specific quantum computer and task. In our case I will be talking about "Optimization-Free" QAS as well, which indicates that the parameters of the circuits aren't optimized during the search process. A consequence of this limitation are task agnostic results like the task agnostic nature of the Hardware Efficient Ansatze as described by Kandala@hea-kandala. == Expressivity == Entanglement
