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. 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%.

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.

Learning and interpreting policies for simultaneous entanglement requests in quantum networks

The paper presents a reinforcement‑learning approach to schedule link‑level entanglement in quantum networks, using a Markov Decision Process and double deep Q‑networks with message‑passing neural networks. The resulting policies achieve 100% success rates even when the link activation probability is reduced by up to 71% compared to baseline heuristics, and maintain at least 80% success when task placements are hardware‑restricted. The authors also develop metrics to interpret the learned policy and employ a large language model to generate a heuristic that matches the DQN performance, suggesting a scalable method for extracting interpretable strategies in large quantum networks.

Bridge of $\Psi$'s: Quantum Circuit Optimization with Schr\"odinger Bridges

Bridge of Ψ's (BOPS) is a generative model that learns to transform quantum circuits into equivalent, optimized versions using Schr"odinger bridges and a custom denoiser architecture. Trained on data engineered to challenge existing optimizers, BOPS achieves a 2.46× reduction in gate count and a 2.45× reduction in depth on 8‑qubit, 64‑depth Clifford+$T$ circuits, outperforming nine baseline optimizers. This work demonstrates the first successful application of generative machine learning to quantum circuit optimization, expanding the quantum compilation stack with learned techniques.

One More Time: Revisiting Neural Quantum States from a Reinforcement Learning Perspective

Neural quantum states (NQS) provide a flexible and scalable framework for approximating quantum many-body wavefunctions. Among NQS parameterizations, autoregressive models are especially attractive because they enable exact, independent sampling from the Born distribution, avoiding the autocorrelation and mixing issues of Markov chain methods.
