Quantum Circuits Face 'Fourier Locking' Optimization Bottleneck

Researchers have identified a phenomenon called Fourier locking (FL) as a primary optimization bottleneck in data re-uploading parameterized quantum circuits (DRU-PQCs). This occurs when random initialization causes encoding parameters to collapse into local minima due to nonlinear coupling between encoding weights and entangling layers. Two Fisher diagnostics, input-space quantum Fisher information ($F_x$) and the Fisher discriminant ratio, can characterize FL. Experiments showed that a frequency-staged homotopy protocol, which paces the target frequency, can convexify the loss landscape and triple the escape rate from FL. AI
