Variational quantum eigensolver with fewer qubits

Open access
Liu, Jin-Guo, Zhang, Yi-Hong, Wan, Yuan, Wang, Lei·2019·Physical Review Research

Abstract

Scalability in a variatonal quantum eigensolver is limited by both the number of qubits available and the gradient vanishing problem. This paper shows several types of tensor network inspired circuit ansatzes. These are area law entangled, qubit efficient, and experimentally feasible while not having exponential contraction complexity problem as in their classical counterpart.

  • Reusing qubits in VQE can represent a virtual N qubit state by R+V < N physical qubits, where R qubits are reusable.

    “A recent proposal suggested a VQE method that relies on fewer qubits by re-using some of them (Liu et al. , 2019). The core idea is to represent a virtual N qubit state by R + V &lt; N physical qubits, where R qubits have to be reusable qubits, e.g. they can be measured and re-initialized during the circuit runtime.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
