• Abstract: Variational Quantum algorithms, especially Quantum Approximate Optimization and Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) have established their potential to provide computational advantage in the realm of combinatorial optimization. However, these algorithms suffer from classically intractable gradients limiting the scalability. This work addresses the scalability challenge for VQE by proposing a classical gradient computation method which utilizes the parameter shift rule but computes the expected values from the circuits using a tensor ring approximation. The parametrized gates from the circuit transform the tensor ring by contracting the matrix along the free edges of the tensor ring. While the single qubit gates do not alter the ring structure, the state transformations from the two qubit rotations are evaluated by truncating the singular values thereby preserving the structure of the tensor ring and reducing the computational complexity. This variation of the Matrix product state approximation grows linearly in number of qubits and the number of two qubit gates as opposed to the exponential growth in the classical simulations, allowing for a faster evaluation of the gradients on classical simulators.

  We show an improved version of the adaptive variational quantum dynamics simulation (AVQDS) method, which we call AVQDS(T) The algorithm adaptively adds layers of disjoint unitary gates to the ansatz circuit so as to keep the McLachlan distance, a measure of the accuracy of the variational dynamics, below a fixed threshold. We also show a method based on eigenvalue truncation to solve the linear equations of motion for the variational parameters with enhanced noise resilience.
