Variational Power of Quantum Circuit Tensor Networks

Reza Haghshenas, Johnnie Gray, Andrew C. Potter +1 more

We characterize the variational power of quantum circuit tensor networks in the representation of physical many-body ground states.Such tensor networks are formed by replacing the dense block unitaries and isometries in standard tensor networks by local quantum circuits.We explore both quantum circuit matrix product states and the quantum circuit multiscale entanglement renormalization Ansatz, and introduce an adaptive method to optimize the resulting circuits to high fidelity with more than 10 4 parameters.We benchmark their expressiveness against standard tensor networks, as well as other common circuit architectures, for the 1D and 2D Heisenberg and 1D Fermi-Hubbard models.We find quantum circuit tensor networks to be substantially more expressive than other quantum circuits for these problems, and that they can even be more compact than standard tensor networks.Extrapolating to circuit depths which can no longer be emulated classically, this suggests a region of advantage in quantum expressiveness in the representation of physical ground states.

Tensor network characterization and mitigation of readout errors

Yuchen Guo, Shuo Yang

Readout errors are a major bottleneck to extracting reliable information from near-term quantum processors, especially when spatial correlations are non-negligible. We present a unified tensor-network framework that models the readout process as a matrix product operator (MPO), enabling efficient characterization and mitigation beyond uncorrelated approximations. The MPO model is trained via likelihood optimization on calibration data and applies to multiple tasks, including nonlocal observable estimation, random circuit sampling, and random-measurement protocols, such as classical shadows and learning-based tomography. Experiments on a superconducting processor and numerical simulations up to 20 qubits show that the MPO model captures correlated readout errors that uncorrelated models miss, with a sample cost that grows only near-linearly with system size. When extended to two-dimensional systems, the framework can also be integrated with tensor-network quantum error-correction decoders by performing joint inference over data and readout errors. These results establish tensor-network readout error mitigation as a scalable and versatile approach for noise-aware quantum data processing.

Tensor network noise characterization for near-term quantum computers

Stefano Mangini, Marco Cattaneo, Daniel Cavalcanti +3 more

Characterization of noise in current near-term quantum devices is of paramount importance to fully use their computational power. However, direct quantum process tomography becomes unfeasible for systems composed of tens of qubits. A promising alternative method based on tensor networks was recently proposed []. In this paper, we adapt it for the characterization of noise channels on near-term quantum computers and investigate its performance thoroughly. In particular, we show how experimentally feasible tomographic samples are sufficient to accurately characterize realistic correlated noise models affecting individual layers of quantum circuits, and study its performance on systems composed of up to 20 qubits. Furthermore, we combine this noise characterization method with a recently proposed noise-aware tensor network error mitigation protocol for correcting outcomes in noisy circuits, resulting accurate estimations even on deep circuit instances. This positions the tensor-network-based noise characterization protocol as a valuable tool for practical error characterization and mitigation in the near-term quantum computing era.
