Neural Guided Sampling for Quantum Circuit Optimization

arXiv:2510. 12430v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Translating a general quantum circuit on a specific hardware topology with a reduced set of available gates, also known as transpilation, comes with a substantial increase in the length of the equivalent circuit.

Adaptive directional gradients for parameterised quantum circuits

arXiv:2606. 09734v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Training parameterised quantum circuits (PQCs) on quantum hardware is bottlenecked by the measurement cost of gradient estimation, which under the parameter-shift rule scales linearly in the number of trainable parameters and dominates the total shot budget of training at scale.

Family-Aware Residual Architecture for Predicting Quantum Circuit Simulation Performance

arXiv:2606. 11620v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Approximate tensor-network simulators enable classical simulation of quantum circuits beyond the reach of exact methods, but selecting optimal approximation parameters -- such as bond dimension thresholds -- remains a costly trial-and-error process.

Scalable On-Hardware Training of Quantum Neural Networks and Application to Clinical Data Imputation

arXiv:2606. 03517v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Training quantum neural networks (QNNs) on quantum hardware is currently bottlenecked by the cost of gradient estimation: standard parameter-shift methods require a number of circuit evaluations that grows quadratically with the number of trainable parameters, making hardware-based optimisation impractical beyond small system sizes.
