• Abstract summary: Variational algorithms require architectures that naturally constrain the optimisation space to run efficiently. We propose the use of spin networks, a form of directed tensor network invariant under a group transformation, to devise SU(2) equivariant quantum circuit ans"atze. By changing to the basis that block diagonalises SU(2) group action, these networks provide a natural building block for constructing parameterised equivariant quantum circuits.

• Abstract: Variational algorithms require architectures that naturally constrain the optimisation space to run efficiently. In geometric quantum machine learning, one achieves this by encoding group structure into parameterised quantum circuits to include the symmetries of a problem as an inductive bias. However, constructing such circuits is challenging as a concrete guiding principle has yet to emerge. In this paper, we propose the use of spin networks, a form of directed tensor network invariant under a group transformation, to devise SU(2) equivariant quantum circuit ans\"atze -- circuits possessing spin rotation symmetry. By changing to the basis that block diagonalises SU(2) group action, these networks provide a natural building block for constructing parameterised equivariant quantum circuits. We prove that our construction is mathematically equivalent to other known constructions, such as those based on twirling and generalised permutations, but more direct to implement on quantum hardware. The efficacy of our constructed circuits is tested by solving the ground state problem of SU(2) symmetric Heisenberg models on the one-dimensional triangular lattice and on the Kagome lattice. Our results highlight that our equivariant circuits boost the performance of quantum variational algorithms, indicating broader applicability to other real-world problems.

  Local unitary designs capture statistical notions of quantum pseudorandomness. In particular, the question of whether any local symmetric circuit can generate 2-designs efficiently remains open. We explicitly construct local symmetric quantum circuits which converge to symmetric unitary 2-designs in time.

  We propose an alternative paradigm for the symmetry-informed construction of variational quantum circuits. We achieve this by introducing horizontal quantum gates, which only transform the state with respect to the directions to those of the symmetry. For a particular subclass of horizontal gates based on symmetric spaces, we can obtain efficient circuit decompositions for our gates through the KAK theorem.

Our results underline new ways in which quantum correlations may be preserved in counterintuitive ways even in small-scale non-Hermitian networks.
