• Abstract: In this work, we propose a framework in the form of a Python package, specifically designed for the analysis of Quantum Machine Learning models. This framework is based on the PennyLane simulator and facilitates the evaluation and training of Variational Quantum Circuits. It provides additional functionality ranging from the ability to add different types of noise to the classical simulation, over different parameter initialisation strategies, to the calculation of expressibility and entanglement for a given model. As an intrinsic property of Quantum Fourier Models, it provides two methods for calculating the corresponding Fourier spectrum: one via the Fast Fourier Transform and another analytical method based on the expansion of the expectation value using trigonometric polynomials. It also provides a set of predefined approaches that allow a fast and straightforward implementation of Quantum Machine Learning models. With this framework, we extend the PennyLane simulator with a set of tools that allow researchers a more convenient start with Quantum Fourier Models and aim to unify the analysis of Variational Quantum Circuits.

  Variational quantum circuits (VQCs) hold promise for quantum machine learning on noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices. While tensor-train networks (TTNs) can enhance VQC representation and generalization, the resulting hybrid model, TTN-VQC, faces optimization challenges due to the Polyak-Lojasiewicz (PL) condition. To mitigate this challenge, we introduce Pre+TTN-VQC, a pre-trained TTN model combined with a VQC.

  Quantum algorithms for quantum dynamics simulations are traditionally based on implementing a Trotter-approximation of the time-evolution operator. variational quantum algorithms have become an indispensable alternative, enabling small-scale simulations on present-day hardware. We show that, despite providing a clear reduction of quantum gate cost, the variational method in its current implementation is unlikely to lead to a quantum advantage.
