• Abstract: Quantum volume (QV) has become the de-facto standard benchmark to quantify the capability of Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices. While QV values are often reported by NISQ providers for their systems, we perform our own series of QV calculations on 24 NISQ devices currently offered by IBM Q, IonQ, Rigetti, Oxford Quantum Circuits, and Quantinuum (formerly Honeywell). Our approach characterizes the performances that an advanced user of these NISQ devices can expect to achieve with a reasonable amount of optimization, but without white-box access to the device. In particular, we compile QV circuits to standard gate sets of the vendor using compiler optimization routines where available, and we perform experiments across different qubit subsets. We find that running QV tests requires very significant compilation cycles, QV values achieved in our tests typically lag behind officially reported results and also depend significantly on the classical compilation effort invested.

  Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) is used to exploit the capabilities of current Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices. VQE algorithms suffer from a plethora of issues, such as barren plateaus, local minima, quantum hardware noise, and limited qubit connectivity. We propose a VQE optimization strategy that builds upon recent advances in the literature, and exhibits very shallow circuit depths.

  Variational quantum circuits (VQCs) hold promise for quantum machine learning on noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices. While tensor-train networks (TTNs) can enhance VQC representation and generalization, the resulting hybrid model, TTN-VQC, faces optimization challenges due to the Polyak-Lojasiewicz (PL) condition. To mitigate this challenge, we introduce Pre+TTN-VQC, a pre-trained TTN model combined with a VQC.

  Variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) have shown strong evidences to gain provable computational advantages for diverse fields such as finance, machine learning, and chemistry. However, the ansatz exploited in modern VQAs is incapable of balancing the tradeoff between expressivity and trainability. We demonstrate the first proof-of-principle experiment of applying an efficient automatic ansatz design technique to enhance VQAs on an 8-qubit superconducting quantum processor.

  We exploit an advanced tool in statistical learning theory, i.e., covering number, to study the expressivity of variational quantum algorithms. We first exhibit how the expressivity of VQAs with an arbitrary ansatze is upper bounded by the number of quantum gates and the measurement observable. We then explore the expressivity of VQAs on near-term quantum chips, where the system noise is considered.
