• Abstract: Combinatorial optimization problems are one of the areas where near-term noisy quantum computers may have practical advantage against classical computers. Recently a novel feedback-based quantum optimization algorithm has been proposed by Magann \textit{et al}. The method explicitly determines quantum circuit parameters by feeding back measurement results thus avoids classical parameter optimization that is known to cause significant trouble in quantum approximate optimization algorithm, the well-studied near-term algorithm. Meanwhile, a significant drawback of the feedback-based quantum optimization is that it requires deep circuits, rendering the method unsuitable to noisy quantum devices. In this study we propose a new feedback law for parameter determination by introducing the second-order approximation with respect to time interval, a hyperparameter in the feedback-based quantum optimization. This allows one to take larger time interval, leading to acceleration of convergence to solutions. In numerical simulations on the maximum cut problem we demonstrate that our proposal significantly reduces circuit depth, with its linear scaling with the problem size smaller by more than an order of magnitude. We expect that the new feedback law proposed in this work may pave the way for feedback-based quantum optimization with near-term noisy quantum computers.

  Hybrid quantum-classical algorithms such as Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) are considered as one of the most encouraging approaches for taking advantage of near-term quantum computers in practical applications. Such algorithms are usually implemented in a variational form, combining a classical optimization method with a quantum machine to find good solutions to an optimization problem. In this study we apply a Cross-Entropy method to shape this landscape, which allows the classical parameter to find better parameters more easily and hence results in an improved performance.
