• Abstract: Parameterised quantum circuits (PQCs) hold great promise for demonstrating quantum advantages in practical applications of quantum computation. Examples of successful applications include the variational quantum eigensolver, the quantum approximate optimisation algorithm, and quantum machine learning. However, before executing PQCs on real quantum devices, they undergo compilation and optimisation procedures. Given the inherent error-proneness of these processes, it becomes crucial to verify the equivalence between the original PQC and its compiled or optimised version. Unfortunately, most existing quantum circuit verifiers cannot directly handle parameterised quantum circuits; instead, they require parameter substitution to perform verification. In this paper, we address the critical challenge of equivalence checking for PQCs. We propose a novel compact representation for PQCs based on tensor decision diagrams. Leveraging this representation, we present an algorithm for verifying PQC equivalence without the need for instantiation. Our approach ensures both effectiveness and efficiency, as confirmed by experimental evaluations. The decision-diagram representations offer a powerful tool for analysing and verifying parameterised quantum circuits, bridging the gap between theoretical models and practical implementations.
