| الوصف: | Variational Quantum Algorithms (VQA) are promising to demonstrate quantum advantages on near-term devices. Designing ansatz, a variational circuit with parameterized gates, is of paramount importance for VQA as it lays the foundation for parameter optimizations. Due to the large noise on Noisy-Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) machines, considering circuit size and real device noise in the ansatz design process is necessary. Unfortunately, recent works on ansatz design either consider no noise impact or only treat the real device as a black box with no specific noise information. In this work, we propose to open the black box by designing specific ansatz tailored for the qubit topology on target machines. Specifically, we propose a bottom-up approach to generate topology-specific ansatz. Firstly, we generate topology-compatible sub-circuits with desirable properties such as high expressibility and entangling capability. Then, the sub-circuits are combined together to form an initial ansatz. We further propose circuits stitching to solve the sparse connectivity issue between sub-circuits, and dynamic circuit growing to improve the accuracy. The ansatz constructed with this method is highly flexible and thus we can explore a much larger design space than previous state-of-the-art method in which all ansatz candidates are strict subsets of a pre-defined large ansatz. We use a popular VQA algorithm - Quantum Neural Networks (QNN) for Machine Learning (ML) task as the benchmarks. Experiments on 14 ML tasks show that under the same performance, the TopGen-searched ansatz can reduce the circuit depth and the number of CNOT gates by up to 2 * and 4 * respectively. Experiments on three real quantum machines demonstrate on average 17% accuracy improvements over baselines. Comment: 13 pages, 14 figures |
