Adaptive H-EFT-VA: A Provably Safe Trajectory Through the Trainability-Expressibility Landscape of Variational Quantum Algorithms

Eyad I. B. Hamid

H-EFT-VA established a physics-informed solution to the Barren Plateau (BP) problem via a hierarchical EFT UV-cutoff, guaranteeing gradient variance in Omega(1/poly(N)). However, localization restricts the ansatz to a polynomial subspace, creating a reference-state gap for states distant from |0>^N. We introduce Adaptive H-EFT-VA (A-H-EFT) to navigate the trainability-expressibility tradeoff by expanding the reachable Hilbert space along a safe trajectory. Gradient variance is maintained in Omega(1/poly(N)) if sigma(t) <= 0.5/sqrt(LN) (Theorem 1). A Safe Expansion Corollary and Monotone Growth Lemma confirm expansion without discontinuous jumps. Benchmarking across 16 experiments (up to N=14) shows A-H-EFT achieves fidelity F=0.54, doubling static H-EFT-VA (F=0.27) and outperforming HEA (F~0.01), with gradient variance >= 0.5 throughout. For Heisenberg XXZ (Delta_ref=1), A-H-EFT identifies the negative ground state while static methods fail. Results are statistically significant (p < 10^-37). Robustness over three decades of hyperparameters enables deployment without search. This is the first rigorously bounded trajectory through the VQA landscape.

Effective Field Theory of Conformal Boundaries

Oleksandr Diatlyk, Himanshu Khanchandani, Fedor K. Popov +1 more

We introduce an effective field theory (EFT) for conformal impurity by considering a pair of transversely displaced impurities and integrating out modes with mass inversely proportional to the separation distance. This EFT captures the universal signature of the impurity seen by a heavy local operator. We focus on the case of conformal boundaries and derive universal formulas from this EFT for the boundary structure constants at high energy. We point out that the more familiar thermal EFT for conformal field theory is a special case of this EFT with distinguished conformal boundaries. We also derive, for general conformal impurities, nonpositivity and convexitylike constraints on the Casimir energy which determines the leading EFT coefficient.
