• Abstract summary: We show that the number of single-qubit rotations in parameterized quantum circuits can be decreased without compromising the relative expressibility or entangling capability of the circuit. We also show that the performance of a variational quantum eigensolver is unaffected by a similar decrease in single-qubit rotations.

• Abstract: With the advent of hybrid quantum classical algorithms using parameterized quantum circuits the question of how to optimize these algorithms and circuits emerges. In this paper we show that the number of single-qubit rotations in parameterized quantum circuits can be decreased without compromising the relative expressibility or entangling capability of the circuit. We also show that the performance of a variational quantum eigensolver is unaffected by a similar decrease in single-qubit rotations. We compare relative expressibility and entangling capability across different number of qubits in parameterized quantum circuits. High-dimensional qudits as a platform for hybrid quantum classical algorithms is a rarity in the literature. Therefore we consider quantum frequency comb photonics as a platform for such algorithms and show that we can obtain an relative expressibility and entangling capability comparable to the best regular parameterized quantum circuits.

  Quantum Circuits (PQCs) are still not fully understood outside the scope of their principal application. We analyse the generation of random states in PQCs under restrictions on the qubits connectivities. We place a connection between how steep is the increase on the uniformity of the distribution of the generated states and the generation of entanglement.

  We present a method to split quantum circuits of variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) to allow for parallel training and execution. We apply this specifically to optimization problems, where inherent structures from the problem can be identified. We show that not only can our method address larger problems, but that it is also possible to run full VQA models while training parameters using only one slice.
