Quantum Eigensolver Trained on IBM Heron Processor Achieves 70 Qubits

Researchers have developed a Generative Quantum Eigensolver (GQE) that utilizes quantum hardware for training. This GQE, conditioned on molecular descriptors, generates state-preparation circuits for sample-based quantum diagonalization. The system was trained and tested on the IBM Heron processor, reaching up to 70 qubits. The trained policies demonstrated improved accuracy and efficiency compared to classical methods, particularly in simulating organotin hydroxides relevant to extreme-ultraviolet lithography. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates hardware-assisted training for quantum circuit generation, potentially accelerating quantum algorithm development.
