• Abstract summary: We propose a novel variational ansatz for the ground-state preparation of the $mathbbZ$ lattice gauge theory (LGT) in quantum simulators. It combines dissipative and unitary operations in a completely deterministic scheme with a circuit depth that does not scale with the size of the considered lattice. We find that, with very few variational parameters, the ansatz can achieve $>!99%$ precision in energy in both the confined and deconfined phase of the $mathbbZ$ LGT.

• Abstract: We propose a novel variational ansatz for the ground-state preparation of the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ lattice gauge theory (LGT) in quantum simulators. It combines dissipative and unitary operations in a completely deterministic scheme with a circuit depth that does not scale with the size of the considered lattice. We find that, with very few variational parameters, the ansatz can achieve $>\!99\%$ precision in energy in both the confined and deconfined phase of the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ LGT. We benchmark our proposal against the unitary Hamiltonian variational ansatz showing a reduction in the required number of variational layers to achieve a target precision. After performing a finite-size scaling analysis, we show that our dissipative variational ansatz can predict accurate critical exponents without requiring a number of layers that scale with the system size, which is the standard situation for unitary ans\"{a}tze. Furthermore, we investigate the performance of this variational eigensolver subject to circuit-level noise, determining variational error thresholds that fix the error rate below which it would be beneficial to increase the number of layers. In light of these quantities and for typical gate errors $p$ in current quantum processors, we provide a detailed assessment of the prospects of our scheme to explore the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ LGT on near-term devices.

• Tight and Efficient Gradient Bounds for Parameterized Quantum Circuits [7.0379869298557844]
  Training a parameterized model largely depends on the landscape of the underlying loss function. We show that these bounds, as well as the variance of the loss itself, can be estimated efficiently and classically-versa--providing practical tools to study the loss landscapes of VQA models. This insight has direct implications for hybrid Quantum Generative Adrial Networks (qGANs), a generative model that can be reformulated as a VQA with an observable composed of local and global terms.

  Kitaev spin models are well known for being exactly solvable in a certain parameter regime via a mapping to free fermions. We use classical simulations to explore a novel variational ansatz that takes advantage of this fermionic representation. We also comment on the implications of our results for simulating non-Abelian anyons on quantum computers.

  Quantum error mitigation (QEM) is a class of promising techniques for reducing the computational error of variational quantum algorithms. We consider a practical channel inversion strategy based on Monte Carlo sampling, which introduces additional computational error. We show that when the computational error is small compared to the dynamic range of the error-free results, it scales with the square root of the number of gates.

  We propose an implementation of a two-dimensional $mathbbZ$ lattice gauge theory model on a shallow quantum circuit. The ground state preparation is numerically analyzed on a small lattice with a variational quantum algorithm. Our work shows that variational quantum algorithms provide a useful technique to be added in the growing toolbox for digital simulations of lattice gauge theories.

  Existing uniform and non-uniform quantization methods exhibit an inherent conflict between the representing range and representing resolution. We propose a novel quantization method to quantize the weight and activation. The key idea is to Approximate the Uniform quantization by Adaptively Superposing multiple Non-uniform quantized values, namely AUSN.
