Prior-Informed Adaptive Shifts for Sequential Minimal Optimization in Variational Quantum Eigensolvers

Frederik Stalschus, Samuele Pedrielli, Stefan Kühn +3

Sequential minimal optimization methods, such as the Rotosolve and the Nakanishi-Fujii-Todo algorithm (NFT), are widely used for Variational Quantum Eigensolvers (VQEs). These meth…

Bias Analysis and Regularization of Sequential Minimal Optimization in Variational Quantum Eigensolvers

Samuele Pedrielli, Frederik Stalschus, Stefan Kühn +3

The Nakanishi Fujii Todo (NFT) algorithm, also known as Rotosolve, implements Sequential Minimal Optimization for Variational Quantum Eigensolvers (SMO-VQE) by exploiting the trigo…

Bayesian Parameter Shift Rule in Variational Quantum Eigensolvers

Samuele Pedrielli, Christopher J. Anders, Lena Funcke +3

Parameter shift rules (PSRs) are key techniques for efficient gradient estimation in variational quantum eigensolvers (VQEs). In this paper, we propose its Bayesian variant, where…

Computing quantum entanglement with machine learning

Andrea Bulgarelli, Elia Cellini, Karl Jansen +5

Entanglement calculations in quantum field theories are extremely challenging and typically rely on the replica trick, where the problem is rephrased in a study of defects. We demo…

Flow-Based Sampling for Entanglement Entropy and the Machine Learning of Defects

Andrea Bulgarelli, Elia Cellini, Karl Jansen +5

We introduce a novel technique to numerically calculate Rényi entanglement entropies in lattice quantum field theory using generative models. We describe how flow-based approaches…

Multilevel Generative Samplers for Investigating Critical Phenomena

Ankur Singha, Elia Cellini, Kim A. Nicoli +3

Investigating critical phenomena or phase transitions is of high interest in physics and chemistry, for which Monte Carlo (MC) simulations, a crucial tool for numerically analyzing…
