New HELIA ansatz reduces QPU calls in quantum algorithms

A new research paper introduces HELIA, a hardware-efficient ansatz for variational quantum algorithms, combined with novel training methods that offload gradient computation to classical hardware. This approach aims to reduce the reliance on quantum processing units (QPUs) and improve the efficiency and accuracy of quantum computations. The methods demonstrated up to a 60% reduction in logical quantum evaluations for variational quantum eigensolver tasks and a 2.8 percentage point increase in accuracy for quantum phase classification.

    Reducing QPU Calls in Variational Quantum Algorithms via Classical Offloading of Gradient Computation

    arXiv:2503.16361v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) are a promising approach for leveraging near-term quantum computers, but trainability and quantum-resource costs remain major challenges. Here we address these challenges with the \tex…
