Reinforcement Learning for Quantum Error Correction

· 0 citations · 28 references

TL;DR

This work investigates the use of reinforcement learning to perform QEC on a rotated surface code as a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP), and finds that the tabular agent is limited by the exponential growth of the history-including state-action space, whereas PPO is able to generalize across similar observations and therefore make better use of the additional information to increase the survival length before a logical error occurs.

Reinforcement Learning to Harness Approximation Errors for Long-Time Quantum Simulation

Accurate digital quantum simulation at long times is limited by the accumulation of errors inherent to approximate simulation. Here we introduce RL-Trotter, a reinforcement-learning framework that treats unavoidable approximation errors as resources for error correction rather than merely imperfections to suppress. We...

TATVA: A Reinforcement Learning Framework for Quantum Circuit Synthesis

One of the most important initial steps in quantum computing is high-fidelity quantum state preparation, because errors in it can affect the final computational result. Therefore, one of the major challenges is to design a quantum circuit that can achieve the desired target state accurately with a smaller number of gat...

Modeling quantum neural network gradient with reinforcement learning

Training quantum neural networks (QNNs) on near-term hardware remains hampered by two compounding difficulties: the exponential vanishing of gradient variance known as the barren plateau, and the $\mathcal{O}(L \cdot 2^n)$ time and memory cost of differentiating through an $n$-qubit, $L$-layer circuit. We propose RLQ-G...

Fixed-Topology UCR State Encoding for High-Dimensional Quantum Reinforcement Learning

This paper repurposes uniformly controlled rotations from static state preparation and static data encoding into a state-encoding interface for quantum neural networks, elevating the process of integrating classical states into quantum neural networks to an independent method-ological layer and achieves a more stable p...
