Abstract
Quantum computing offers the potential for revolutionary advancements across diverse fields, demanding efficient algorithms and hardware architectures. Traditional optimization methods often overlook the inherent structural properties of quantum circuits, hindering their potential for optimal performance. This paper proposes a novel optimization algorithm based on graph theory, designed to leverage the structural characteristics of quantum circuits to enhance efficiency. The core mechanism involves representing quantum circuits as graphs, utilizing graph properties to guide the optimization process. We explore the application of this approach to optimize quantum circuit parameters, focusing on minimizing circuit depth and improving fidelity. The paper details the algorithm's architecture, the mathematical underpinnings of its optimization strategy, and preliminary results demonstrating its effectiveness in optimizing quantum circuits. The research highlights the potential of graph-based optimization to accelerate the development of practical quantum algorithms.
