Abstract

We explore the industrial and scientific applicability of the VQE-LSTM framework by integrating meta-learning with GPU accelerated quantum simulation using NVIDIA's CUDA-Q (CUDAQ) platform. This work demonstrates how an LSTM-FC meta-initialization module can extend the practical reach of the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) in both chemistry and physics domains. In the chemical regime, the framework predicts ground-state energies of molecular Hamiltonians derived from PySCF, achieving near FCI accuracy while maintaining favorable O(N^2) scaling with molecular size. In the physical counterpart, we applied the same model to quantized Simple Harmonic Motion systems (SHM), successfully reproducing its ground and excited states through VQE and Variational Quantum Deflation (VQD) methods. Benchmark results on NVIDIA GPUs reveal significant speedups over CPU-based implementations, validating CUDAQ's capability to handle large-scale variational workloads efficiently. Overall, this study establishes VQE-LSTM as a viable and scalable approach for GPU accelerated quantum simulation, bridging quantum chemistry and condensed-matter physics through a unified, meta-learned initialization strategy.

Accelerating Parameter Initialization in Quantum Chemical Simulations via LSTM-FC-VQE

Ran-Yu Chang, Yu‐Cheng Lin, Pei-Che Hsu +2 more

Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) is a leading algorithm for quantum chemistry on near-term devices, but its performance is often limited by inefficient parameter initialization, which leads to slow convergence and high computational overhead. While meta-learning approaches such as LSTM-VQE have been proposed to predict optimization trajectories, their applicability remains restricted by rigid ansatz structures and molecule-specific parameter dimensions. To address these limitations, we propose LSTM-FC-VQE, an enhanced meta-learning framework that combines Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks with a fully connected projection layer. This design enables the model to standardize variable-length parameter inputs, allowing it to handle molecular systems with heterogeneous qubit counts and ansatz architectures more effectively. We validate our approach on benchmark molecules, including H4and H2O, and demonstrate that LSTM-FC-VQE significantly reduces the number of VQE iterations required for convergence while achieving energy accuracies comparable to full configuration interaction (FCI) results. Beyond accelerating convergence, our method generalizes to unseen molecular configurations with minimal training data, offering a scalable and data-efficient strategy for quantum chemical simulations in the NISQ era.

Graph-VQE: A CUDA-Q Multi-QPU Simulation Framework for Hamiltonian-Aware Protein-Folding VQE

Feng, Yujun, Yuqi Zhang, Jingyi Huang +4 more

The Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) is essential for molecular simulation in drug discovery, but hardware noise and algorithmic limits restrict its precision. While the NVIDIA CUDA-Q platform mitigates some hardware issues via exact simulation, it lacks Qiskit support and restricts parallelization. To solve this, we introduce Graph-VQE, a novel framework that extends CUDA-Q with optimization-level parallelism. Graph-VQE leverages amino acid sequence structures by partitioning Hamiltonian interaction graphs into weakly coupled clusters using Louvain community detection. These clusters undergo restricted updates on the full-Hamiltonian objective, followed by a global refinement stage utilizing Hamiltonian batching. Furthermore, a custom Qiskit-CUDA-Q integration layer enables standard workflows with GPU acceleration. Evaluations on protein folding tasks prove that Graph-VQE outperforms baselines, achieving lower final energies. It delivers competitive RMSD and binding affinity compared to AlphaFold3 and IBM quantum processors while maintaining stable quality across multi-GPU environments, thereby providing a highly practical path toward high-fidelity biomolecular simulations.

Meta-learning of Gibbs states for many-body Hamiltonians with applications to Quantum Boltzmann Machines

Ruchira V Bhat, Rahul Bhowmick, Avinash Kumar Singh +1 more

The preparation of quantum Gibbs states is a fundamental challenge in quantum computing, essential for applications ranging from modeling open quantum systems to quantum machine learning. Building on the Meta-Variational Quantum Eigensolver framework proposed by Cervera-Lierta et al. and a problem-driven ansatz design, we introduce two meta-learning algorithms: Meta-Variational Quantum Thermalizer (Meta-VQT) and Neural Network Meta-VQT (NN-Meta VQT) for efficient thermal state preparation of parametrized Hamiltonians on Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices. Meta-VQT utilizes a fully quantum ansatz, while NN Meta-VQT integrates a quantum--classical hybrid architecture. Both use collective optimization over a finite set of training parameter values to prepare approximate Gibbs states at held-out parameter values within the sampled parameter domain. We validate our methods on Transverse Field Ising Models (TFIM) with up to eight qubits and on a two-qubit Heisenberg model with all field terms. Within these finite-size benchmarks, the trained models accurately prepare thermal states at test points inside the training interval. For the six and eight qubit cases of TFIM, meta-learned parameters when combined with appropriately designed ansatz serve as warm-start initializations, significantly outperforming random initializations in the optimization tasks. Furthermore, a 3 qubit Kitaev ring example showcases our algorithm's effectiveness across finite-temperature crossover regimes. Finally, we apply our algorithms to train a Quantum Boltzmann Machine (QBM) on a 2-qubit Heisenberg model with all field terms, achieving enhanced training efficiency, improved Gibbs state accuracy, and a 30-fold runtime speedup over existing techniques such as variational quantum imaginary time (VarQITE)-based QBM highlighting the practicality of meta-algorithm-based QBMs.

A GPU-Accelerated and Geometry-Aware Quantum-Classical Framework for Optimized PES Scans with CUDA-Q

Panayiotis Christou, Shuwen Kan, Ying Mao

Hybrid quantum-classical workloads, particularly Potential Energy Surface (PES) scans in quantum chemistry using batched VQE and QAOA, involve many structurally similar Hamiltonians differing only in coefficients. Existing warm-start and meta-optimization strategies reuse parameters between instances but still consume fixed quantum-classical resources, ignoring cross-instance structural similarities. We present OptiPESS, a GPU-accelerated runtime system for adaptive resource allocation in hybrid quantum-classical execution. OptiPESS introduces the Locality-Occupancy-Variance (LOV) metric, a lightweight, geometry-aware measure of Hamiltonian similarity, coupled with efficient alignment and Pauli-classification passes. Using LOV, OptiPESS performs distance-aware scheduling of iteration and shot budgets, predicting which instances can be skipped, quick-solved, or fully optimized. Implemented atop CUDA-Q with persistent multi-GPU execution and near-linear scaling, OptiPESS reduces classical and quantum evaluations by up to 78.3\% and wall-time by up to 74.8\% while maintaining baseline accuracy. This demonstrates how lightweight static analysis and adaptive scheduling can transform quantum-classical co-execution from fixed-budget loops into a predictive, resource-aware runtime.

Accelerating Quantum Chemistry Simulations Using GPU-Optimized Deep Reinforcement Learning Algorithms

Marek Zielinski

A distributed deep reinforcement learning framework based on GPU cluster was constructed to solve the computational problems of large-scale quantum chemistry simulation. The framework includes technologies such as parallel strategy optimization, asynchronous gradient update, and dynamic scheduling tasks. Efficient communication algorithms are adopted to maximize the utilization of hardware resources and achieve scaling. Experimental evaluation of representative quantum chemistry problems was performed on a multi-node GPU platform. The results show that the average GPU utilization rate exceeds 92% due to the near-linear scale expansion to 128 GPUs. This improves the simulation throughput and efficiency. The system has good performance and convergence behavior for a variety of workloads. The results show that these GPUs, matched with advanced improved distributed DRL models, can break thru the traditional bottleneck of using supercomputers to solve complex physical and chemical problems, so as to complete all these dazzling and complex molecules faster and better.
