• Abstract summary: We propose a novel qubit-wise architec-ture search (QWAS) method, which progres-sively search one-qubit configuration per stage. Our proposed method can balance the exploration and exploitation of cir-cuit performance and size in some real-world tasks, such as MNIST, Fashion and MOSI.

• Abstract: Considering the noise level limit, one crucial aspect for quantum machine learning is to design a high-performing variational quantum circuit architecture with small number of quantum gates. As the classical neural architecture search (NAS), quantum architecture search methods (QAS) employ methods like reinforcement learning, evolutionary algorithms and supernet optimiza-tion to improve the search efficiency. In this paper, we propose a novel qubit-wise architec-ture search (QWAS) method, which progres-sively search one-qubit configuration per stage, and combine with Monte Carlo Tree Search al-gorithm to find good quantum architectures by partitioning the search space into several good and bad subregions. The numerical experimental results indicate that our proposed method can balance the exploration and exploitation of cir-cuit performance and size in some real-world tasks, such as MNIST, Fashion and MOSI. As far as we know, QWAS achieves the state-of-art re-sults of all tasks in the terms of accuracy and circuit size.

  We focus on variational quantum circuits (VQC), which emerged as the most promising candidates for the quantum counterpart of neural networks. Although showing promising results, VQCs can be hard to train because of different issues, e.g., barren plateau, periodicity of the weights, or choice of architecture. We propose a gradient-free algorithm inspired by natural evolution to optimize both the weights and the architecture of the VQC.
