• Abstract: The quantum Boltzmann machine (QBM) is a generative machine learning model for both classical data and quantum states. Training the QBM consists of minimizing the relative entropy from the model to the target state. This requires QBM expectation values which are computationally intractable for large models in general. It is therefore important to develop heuristic training methods that work well in practice. In this work, we study a heuristic method characterized by a nested loop: the inner loop trains the $\beta$-variational quantum eigensolver ($\beta$-VQE) by Liu et al (2021 Mach. Learn.: Sci. Technol.2 025011) to approximate the QBM expectation values; the outer loop trains the QBM to minimize the relative entropy to the target. We show that low-rank representations obtained by $\beta$-VQE provide an efficient way to learn low-rank target states, such as classical data and low-temperature quantum tomography. We test the method on both classical and quantum target data with numerical simulations of up to 10 qubits. For the cases considered here, the obtained QBMs can model the target to high fidelity. We implement a trained model on a physical quantum device. The approach offers a valuable route towards variationally training QBMs on near-term quantum devices.

  "Wasserstein Quantum Monte Carlo" (WQMC) uses the gradient flow induced by the Wasserstein metric, rather than Fisher-Rao metric, and corresponds to transporting the probability mass, rather than teleporting it. We demonstrate empirically that the dynamics of WQMC results in faster convergence to the ground state of molecular systems.

• Improved variational quantum eigensolver via quasi-dynamical evolution [0.0]
  The variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) is a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm designed for current and near-term quantum devices. There are problems with VQE that forbid a favourable scaling towards quantum advantage. We propose and extensively test a quantum annealing inspired algorithm that supplements VQE. The improved VQE avoids barren plateaus, exits local minima, and works with low-depth circuits.
