• Abstract: The Fourier expansion of the loss function in variational quantum algorithms (VQA) contains a wealth of information, yet is generally hard to access. We focus on the class of variational circuits, where constant gates are Clifford gates and parameterized gates are generated by Pauli operators, which covers most practical cases while allowing much control thanks to the properties of stabilizer circuits. We give a classical algorithm that, for an $N$-qubit circuit and a single Pauli observable, computes coefficients of all trigonometric monomials up to a degree $m$ in time bounded by $\mathcal{O}(N2^m)$. Using the general structure and implementation of the algorithm we reveal several novel aspects of Fourier expansions in Clifford+Pauli VQA such as (i) reformulating the problem of computing the Fourier series as an instance of multivariate boolean quadratic system (ii) showing that the approximation given by a truncated Fourier expansion can be quantified by the $L^2$ norm and evaluated dynamically (iii) tendency of Fourier series to be rather sparse and Fourier coefficients to cluster together (iv) possibility to compute the full Fourier series for circuits of non-trivial sizes, featuring tens to hundreds of qubits and parametric gates.

  VQC can be understood through the lens of Fourier analysis. We show that the spectrum available to that truncated Fourier sum is not entirely determined by the encoding gates of the circuit. We show that it is possible to predict which VQC out of a given list of choices will be able to best fit the data.
