The paper presents a method for training single‑step neural surrogates that can handle wave‑scattering inverse problems with tens of thousands of controllable variables. By dynamically generating training examples through gradient ascent and using a replay dataset with normalization, the authors achieve a surrogate that accurately models two‑dimensional wave scattering for up to 41,772 variables and can generalize to over 3 million variables without retraining. The surrogate demonstrates comparable or better performance than traditional FDTD simulations for large‑scale forward simulations and inverse design of photonic devices, achieving speedups up to 26.5×.

The paper presents a method for training single‑step neural surrogates that can handle wave‑scattering problems with tens of thousands of controllable variables. By dynamically generating training examples that highlight surrogate errors and using a replay dataset with normalization, the authors achieve a surrogate that accurately simulates two‑dimensional wave scattering for up to 41,772 variables and generalizes to over 3 million variables without retraining. The surrogate is applied to forward simulations and inverse design of freeform beam splitters and gradient‑index lenses, achieving speedups up to 26.5× compared to traditional FDTD methods.

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. Across benchmarks ranging from 6 to 15 qubits, the method improves success probabilities, identifies compact circuits, and reduces steps to chemical accuracy by up to 92.7%.
