用负学习率突破量子算法训练瓶颈,提升受限设备的优化效果。

Escaping Barren Plateaus in Variational Quantum Algorithms Using Negative Learning Rate in Quantum Internet of Things

  • 引入正负交替学习率,通过可控不稳定性恢复梯度
  • 实验显示收敛速度与模拟结果显著优于传统优化器
  • 适合资源受限的量子物联网终端,如少量子比特设备

变分量子算法(VQAs)正成为下一代量子计算机的核心计算范式,尤其在资源受限的量子物联网(QIoT)设备中作为加速器使用。然而,在此类设备约束条件下,训练易陷入平庸区域(barren plateaus),梯度趋近于零导致学习失效,严重限制了可扩展性。本文提出一种新方法:在量子物联网设备的优化过程中引入负学习率。该方法通过在正负学习率之间切换,主动引入可控不稳定性,使模型能够恢复显著梯度并探索损失函数更平坦区域。理论分析表明,负学习率可降低梯度方差,满足特定条件时能有效逃离平庸区。在典型VQA基准测试上的实验结果表明,该方法在收敛性和模拟性能上均优于传统优化器。本方法为量子-经典混合模型提供了鲁棒优化的新路径。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Variational Quantum Algorithms (VQAs) are becoming the primary computational primitive for next-generation quantum computers, particularly those embedded as resource-constrained accelerators in the emerging Quantum Internet of Things (QIoT). However, under such device-constrained execution conditions, the scalability of learning is severely limited by barren plateaus, where gradients collapse to zero and training stalls. This poses a practical challenge to delivering VQA-enabled intelligence on QIoT endpoints, which often have few qubits, constrained shot budgets, and strict latency requirements. In this paper, we present a novel approach for escaping barren plateaus by including negative learning rates into the optimization process in QIoT devices. Our method introduces controlled instability into model training by switching between positive and negative learning phases, allowing recovery of significant gradients and exploring flatter areas in the loss landscape. We theoretically evaluate the effect of negative learning on gradient variance and propose conditions under which it helps escape from barren zones. The experimental findings on typical VQA benchmarks show consistent improvements in both convergence and simulation results over traditional optimizers. By escaping barren plateaus, our approach leads to a novel pathway for robust optimization in quantum-classical hybrid models.
