Evolutionary-based quantum architecture search

Anqi Zhang, Shengmei Zhao

Quantum architecture search (QAS) is desired to construct a powerful and general QAS platform which can significantly accelerate quantum advantages in error-prone and depth limited quantum circuits in today Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) era. In this paper, we propose an evolutionary-based quantum architecture search (EQAS) scheme for the optimal layout to balance the higher expressive power and the trainable ability. In EQAS, each layout of quantum circuits, i.e quantum circuit architecture(QCA), is first encoded into a binary string, which is called quantum genes later. Then, an algorithm to remove the redundant parameters in QCA is performed according to the eigenvalues of the corresponding quantum Fisher information matrix (QFIM). Later, each QCA is evaluated by the normalized fitness, so that the sampling rate could be obtained to sample the parent generation by the Roulette Wheel selection strategy. Thereafter, the mutation and crossover are applied to get the next generation. EQAS is verified by the classification task in quantum machine learning for three datasets. The results show that the proposed EQAS can search for the optimal QCA with less parameterized gates, and the higher accuracies are obtained by adopting EQAS for the classification tasks over three dataset.

Enhanced Machine Learning Applications using Automated Quantum Architecture Search: Employing Meta-Learning and Evolutionary Algorithms

Kalaipriya Omprakash, Ola Khresat, V Praveena +3 more

Quantum computing combined with machine learning, is a promising emerging field for tackling problems that are extremely expensive or fundamentally infeasible for classical computers. Nonetheless, design of the optimal quantum circuit for machine learning is a major challenge, which can be attributed to the exponential search space of the quantum gate arrangement and unmatched structured design methods. To resolve this, our work introduces a novel automated framework for quantum architecture search (AQAS) that adopts both meta-learning and evolutionary algorithms to automatically learn, transfer, and optimize quantum circuit architectures to suit different machine learning tasks. Our strategy relies on meta-learning to introduce a learning scheme, i.e. it allows the AQAS system to generalize across distributions by learning from a shared structural and functional prior from the distribution of machine learning problems. This enables the approach to quickly home in effective quantum circuit implementations for new tasks with low data or retraining. At the same time, we use evolutionary algorithms– mimicking natural selection– to breed populations of quantum circuit architectures. These circuits are represented in genotypes, are varied under mutation and crossover, and are selected according to a fitness function that blends quantum resource utilization (e.g., depth, qubits) with task-specific performance (e.g., classification accuracy or loss). The architecture is realized in a mixed quantum-classical environment, with quantum circuits simulated on quantum simulators and/or Noisy-Intermediate-Scale-Quantum (NISQ) devices. We verify the effectiveness of our approach on a number of benchmarked datasets and tasks which range from quantum-aided image recognition, time series prediction to medical diagnostics. We demonstrate that AQAS can discover compact, high-performing quantum models, which generalize better and are computationally more efficient than the custom-built quantum models.
