Reinforcement learning agent synthesizes Clifford quantum circuits efficiently

Researchers have developed a novel reinforcement learning approach for synthesizing Clifford quantum circuits. Their method utilizes a size-agnostic, equivariant neural network that learns to discover optimal sequences of Clifford gates. This agent demonstrates impressive performance, finding near-optimal circuits for six-qubit systems in milliseconds and scaling to thirty qubits, outperforming existing synthesizers. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more efficient quantum computations by optimizing circuit design.

    Equivariant Reinforcement Learning for Clifford Quantum Circuit Synthesis

    We consider the problem of synthesizing Clifford quantum circuits for devices with all-to-all qubit connectivity. We approach this task as a reinforcement learning problem in which an agent learns to discover a sequence of elementary Clifford gates that reduces a given symplectic…
