DistributedEstimator trains quantum neural networks via circuit cutting

Researchers have developed DistributedEstimator, a system designed to train quantum neural networks by decomposing large quantum circuits into smaller, manageable subcircuits. This method involves partitioning, subexperiment generation, parallel execution, and classical reconstruction, with reconstruction proving to be the most time-consuming phase. Despite reconstruction overheads, the system maintained test accuracy on benchmark datasets like Iris and MNIST and preserved robustness against noise and perturbations, though the exponential growth of subexperiments limits practical application to smaller qubit counts.
