• Abstract: Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) serve as the cornerstone for a wide range of scientific endeavours, their solutions weaving through the core of diverse fields such as structural engineering, fluid dynamics, and financial modelling. PDEs are notoriously hard to solve, due to their the intricate nature, and finding solutions to PDEs often exceeds the capabilities of traditional computational approaches. Recent advances in quantum computing have triggered a growing interest from researchers for the design of quantum algorithms for solving PDEs. In this work, we introduce two different architectures of a novel variational quantum algorithm (VQA) with Lagrange polynomial encoding in combination with derivative quantum circuits using the Hadamard test differentiation to approximate the solution of PDEs. To demonstrate the potential of our new VQA, two well-known PDEs are used: the damped mass-spring system from a given initial value and the Poisson equation for periodic, Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. It is shown that the proposed new VQA has a reduced gate complexity compared to previous variational quantum algorithms, for a similar or better quality of the solution.

  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.
