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.

Trainability-Oriented Hybrid Quantum Regression via Geometric Preconditioning and Curriculum Optimization

The paper introduces a hybrid quantum–classical regression framework that uses a lightweight classical embedding as a learnable geometric preconditioner to improve the conditioning of a downstream variational quantum circuit. It further incorporates a curriculum optimization protocol that gradually increases circuit depth and switches from SPSA-based exploration to Adam-based fine‑tuning. Experiments on PDE‑informed and standard regression datasets show that this approach consistently outperforms pure QNN baselines, yielding more stable convergence and reduced structured errors, especially in data‑limited regimes.

Generative Replay Mitigates Sample Starvation in Quantum Architecture Search

The paper introduces GenQAS, a tensor‑network‑guided reinforcement learning framework that uses a learned local transition model to generate synthetic circuit transitions for prioritized generative replay. By mixing these synthetic transitions with real experience during Double Deep Q‑Network updates, GenQAS addresses sample starvation in quantum architecture search. Experiments on chemical Hamiltonian benchmarks up to 12 qubits and a 15‑qubit Ising model show significant improvements in success probability and circuit compactness, while a noisy 6‑qubit BeH₂ transfer experiment demonstrates a 92.7% reduction in steps to chemical accuracy.
