We invite you to attend Episode LVII of the Warsaw Quantum Computing Group meetup, this time organized on World Quantum Day – on 14.04.2024, starting at 16:00 CEST. It will be a lecture “Quantum Architecture Search” given by Mateusz Ostaszewski. The talk will be followed by the afterparty with networking.
Abstract:
The paramount challenge in the era of noisy intermediate-scale quantum computing is the discovery of efficient quantum circuits that can operate effectively within the constraints of current quantum devices. Variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) offer a promising solution wherein the circuit architecture is first established and subsequently fine-tuned through parameter optimization to address specific quantum tasks. However, the optimization process can often become intractable, with overall performance heavily reliant on the initially chosen circuit architecture.
To address these challenges, several quantum architecture search (QAS) algorithms have been developed to automate the selection of optimal circuit architectures. In this tutorial, I will overview the key methodological trends within Quantum Architecture Search. We will delve into the technical intricacies of various approaches, exploring their strengths and limitations. Additionally, I will shed light on the ongoing challenges that continue to engage researchers in this rapidly evolving field.
