Leveraging Diffusion Models for Parameterized Quantum Circuit Generation
This work addresses the challenge of efficient quantum circuit design for researchers and practitioners in quantum computing, representing an incremental advancement by extending existing diffusion model methods.
The paper tackles the problem of designing parameterized quantum circuits (PQCs) by introducing a generative approach using denoising diffusion models to synthesize both circuit architectures and gate parameters, demonstrating strong generalization across gate sets and qubit counts for tasks like generating GHZ states and quantum machine learning classification.
Quantum computing holds immense potential, yet its practical success depends on multiple factors, including advances in quantum circuit design. In this paper, we introduce a generative approach based on denoising diffusion models (DMs) to synthesize parameterized quantum circuits (PQCs). Extending the recent diffusion model pipeline of Fürrutter et al. [1], our model effectively conditions the synthesis process, enabling the simultaneous generation of circuit architectures and their continuous gate parameters. We demonstrate our approach in synthesizing PQCs optimized for generating high-fidelity Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states and achieving high accuracy in quantum machine learning (QML) classification tasks. Our results indicate a strong generalization across varying gate sets and scaling qubit counts, highlighting the versatility and computational efficiency of diffusion-based methods. This work illustrates the potential of generative models as a powerful tool for accelerating and optimizing the design of PQCs, supporting the development of more practical and scalable quantum applications.
