Illustration of Barren Plateaus in Quantum Computing
Gerhard Stenzel, Tobias Rohe, Michael Kölle +3
Variational Quantum Circuits (VQCs) have emerged as a promising paradigm for quantum machine learning in the NISQ era. While parameter sharing in VQCs can reduce the parameter spac…
Evolutionary-Based Circuit Optimization for Distributed Quantum Computing
Leo Sünkel, Jonas Stein, Gerhard Stenzel +3
In this work, we evaluate an evolutionary algorithm (EA) to optimize a given circuit in such a way that it reduces the required communication when executed in the Distributed Quant…
From Problem to Solution: A general Pipeline to Solve Optimisation Problems on Quantum Hardware
Tobias Rohe, Simon Grätz, Michael Kölle +3
With constant improvements of quantum hardware and quantum algorithms, quantum advantage comes within reach. Parallel to the development of the computer at the end of the twentieth…
Quality Diversity for Variational Quantum Circuit Optimization

Optimizing the architecture of variational quantum circuits (VQCs) is crucial for advancing quantum computing (QC) towards practical applications. Current methods range from static…
Evaluating Parameter-Based Training Performance of Neural Networks and Variational Quantum Circuits
Michael Kölle, Alexander Feist, Jonas Stein +2
In recent years, neural networks (NNs) have driven significant advances in machine learning. However, as tasks grow more complex, NNs often require large numbers of trainable param…
Accelerated VQE: Parameter Recycling for Similar Recurring Problem Instances
Tobias Rohe, Maximilian Balthasar Mansky, Michael Kölle +3
Training the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) is a task that requires substantial compute. We propose the use of concepts from transfer learning to considerably reduce the tra…
