• Title: Error Mitigation for Deep Quantum Optimization Circuits by Leveraging Problem Symmetries
• Authors: Ruslan Shaydulin and Alexey Galda
• Abstract summary: We introduce an application-specific approach for mitigating the errors in QAOA evolution by leveraging the symmetries present in the classical objective function to be optimized. Specifically, the QAOA state is projected into the symmetry-restricted subspace, with projection being performed either at the end of the circuit or throughout the evolution. Our approach improves the fidelity of the QAOA state, thereby increasing both the accuracy of the sample estimate of the QAOA objective and the probability of sampling the binary string corresponding to that objective value.

• Abstract: High error rates and limited fidelity of quantum gates in near-term quantum devices are the central obstacles to successful execution of the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA). In this paper we introduce an application-specific approach for mitigating the errors in QAOA evolution by leveraging the symmetries present in the classical objective function to be optimized. Specifically, the QAOA state is projected into the symmetry-restricted subspace, with projection being performed either at the end of the circuit or throughout the evolution. Our approach improves the fidelity of the QAOA state, thereby increasing both the accuracy of the sample estimate of the QAOA objective and the probability of sampling the binary string corresponding to that objective value. We demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed methods on QAOA applied to the MaxCut problem, although our methods are general and apply to any objective function with symmetries, as well as to the generalization of QAOA with alternative mixers. We experimentally verify the proposed methods on an IBM Quantum processor, utilizing up to 5 qubits. When leveraging a global bit-flip symmetry, our approach leads to a 23% average improvement in quantum state fidelity.

  The quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) conceived for solving optimization problems can be run on the existing noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices. We solve the maximum likelihood (ML) detection problem for general constellations by appropriately adapting the QAOA. In particular, for an M-ary Gray-mapped quadrature amplitude modulation (MQAM) constellation, we show that the specific qubits encoding the in-phase components and those encoding the quadrature components are independent in the quantum system of interest.

  Multi-Object Tracking (MOT) is most often approached in the tracking-by-detection paradigm, where object detections are associated through time. As these optimization problems are often NP-hard, they can only be solved exactly for small instances on current hardware. We show that our approach is competitive compared with state-of-the-art optimization-based approaches, even when using of-the-shelf integer programming solvers.
