abstract = {Quantum technology promises to revolutionize how we learn about
the physical world. An experiment that processes quantum data with
a quantum computer could have substantial advantages over
conventional experiments in which quantum states are measured and
outcomes are processed with a classical computer. We proved that
quantum machines could learn from exponentially fewer experiments
than the number required by conventional experiments. This
exponential advantage is shown for predicting properties of
physical systems, performing quantum principal component analysis,
and learning about physical dynamics. Furthermore, the quantum
resources needed for achieving an exponential advantage are quite
modest in some cases. Conducting experiments with 40
superconducting qubits and 1300 quantum gates, we demonstrated that
a substantial quantum advantage is possible with todays quantum
processors. There is considerable interest in extending the recent
success of quantum computers in outperforming their conventional
classical counterparts (quantum advantage) from some model
mathematical problems to more meaningful tasks. Huang et al. show
how manipulating multiple quantum states can provide an exponential
advantage over classical processing of measurements of
single-quantum states for certain learning tasks. These include
predicting properties of physical systems, performing quantum
principal component analysis on noisy states, and learning
approximate models of physical dynamics (see the Perspective by
Dunjko). In their proof-of-principle experiments using up to 40
qubits on a Google Sycamore quantum processor, the authors achieved
almost four orders of magnitude of reduction in the required number
of experiments over the best-known classical lower bounds. —YS
Quantum-enhanced strategies can provide a dramatic performance
boost in learning useful information from quantum experiments.},

abstract = {Abstract Parameterized quantum circuits (PQCs) play an essential
role in the performance of many variational quantum algorithms. One
challenge in implementing such algorithms is choosing an effective
circuit that well represents the solution space while maintaining a
low circuit depth and parameter count. To characterize and identify
expressible, yet compact, circuits, several descriptors are
proposed, including expressibility and entangling capability, that
are statistically estimated from classical simulations. These
descriptors are computed for different circuit structures, varying
the qubit connectivity and selection of gates. From these
simulations, circuit fragments that perform well with respect to
the descriptors are identified. In particular, a substantial
improvement in performance of two-qubit gates in a ring or
all-to-all connected arrangement, compared to that of those on a
line, is observed. Furthermore, improvement in both descriptors is
achieved by sequences of controlled X-rotation gates compared to
sequences of controlled Z-rotation gates. In addition, it is
investigated how expressibility “saturates” with increased circuit
depth, finding that the rate and saturated value appear to be
distinguishing features of a PQC. While the correlation between
each descriptor and algorithm performance remains to be
investigated, methods and results from this study can be useful for
algorithm development and design of experiments.},

abstract = {Variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) are expected to be a path to
quantum advantages on noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices.
However, both empirical and theoretical results exhibit that the
deployed ansatz heavily affects the performance of VQAs such that
an ansatz with a larger number of quantum gates enables a stronger
expressivity, while the accumulated noise may render a poor
trainability. To maximally improve the robustness and trainability
of VQAs, here we devise a resource and runtime efficient scheme
termed quantum architecture search (QAS). In particular, given a
learning task, QAS automatically seeks a near-optimal ansatz (i.e.,
circuit architecture) to balance benefits and side-effects brought
by adding more noisy quantum gates to achieve a good performance.
We implement QAS on both the numerical simulator and real quantum
hardware, via the IBM cloud, to accomplish data classification and
quantum chemistry tasks. In the problems studied, numerical and
experimental results show that QAS cannot only alleviate the
influence of quantum noise and barren plateaus but also outperforms
VQAs with pre-selected ansatze.},

ABSTRACT = {Recent work on hybrid quantum-classical machine learning systems
has demonstrated success in utilizing parameterized quantum
circuits (PQCs) to solve the challenging reinforcement learning
(RL) tasks, with provable learning advantages over classical
systems, e.g., deep neural networks. While existing work
demonstrates and exploits the strength of PQC-based models, the
design choices of PQC architectures and the interactions between
different quantum circuits on learning tasks are generally
underexplored. In this work, we introduce a Multi-objective
Evolutionary Architecture Search framework for parameterized
quantum circuits (MEAS-PQC), which uses a multi-objective genetic
algorithm with quantum-specific configurations to perform efficient
searching of optimal PQC architectures. Experimental results show
that our method can find architectures that have superior learning
performance on three benchmark RL tasks, and are also optimized for
additional objectives including reductions in quantum noise and
model size. Further analysis of patterns and probability
distributions of quantum operations helps identify
performance-critical design choices of hybrid quantum-classical
learning systems.},

abstract = {The limitations of noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices
have motivated the development of variational quantum algorithms
(VQAs), which are designed to potentially achieve quantum advantage
for specific tasks. Quantum architecture search (QAS) algorithms
play a critical role in automating the design of high-performance
parameterized quantum circuits (PQCs) for VQAs. However, existing
QAS approaches struggle with large search spaces, leading to
substantial computational overhead when optimizing large-scale
quantum circuits. Extensive empirical analysis reveals that circuit
topology has a greater impact on quantum circuit performance than
gate types. Based on this insight, we propose the topology-driven
quantum architecture search (TD-QAS) framework, which first
identifies optimal circuit topologies and then fine-tunes the gate
types. In the fine-tuning phase, the QAS inherits parameters from
the topology search phase, eliminating the need for training from
scratch. By decoupling the large search space into separate
topology and gate-type components, TD-QAS avoids exploring gate
configurations within low-performance topologies, thereby
significantly reducing computational complexity. Numerical
simulations across various tasks, under both noiseless and noisy
conditions, validate the effectiveness of the TD-QAS framework.
This framework advances standard QAS algorithms by enabling the
identification of high-performance quantum circuits while
minimizing computational demands. These findings indicate that
TD-QAS deepens our understanding of VQAs and offers broad potential
for the development of future QAS algorithms.},
