用渐变哈密顿量辅助量子变分算法,更稳地求解多体基态。

Warm Starts, Cold States: Exploiting Adiabaticity for Variational Ground-States

  • 通过逐步变形哈密顿量,引导变分算法追踪基态演化路径。
  • 数值模拟显示在噪声下仍能收敛到目标基态,且训练过程稳定。
  • 适合需要高精度基态的量子化学与材料模拟研究者使用。

可靠制备多体基态是量子计算的核心任务,广泛应用于化学、材料建模、量子优化和基准测试等领域。尽管已有多种方法,如变分量子本征值求解器(VQE),但其常因能量景观复杂而陷入局部极小或遭遇梯度消失。本文提出一种基于离散化哈密顿量渐变的迭代策略,结合绝热原理改进VQE。理论证明,只要系统远离能隙闭合点,损失方差存在下界,保证训练可执行性。数值模拟包含采样噪声影响,结果表明该路径依赖追踪机制可稳定收敛至目标基态,即使在系统规模增大时亦然。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Reliable preparation of many-body ground states is an essential task in quantum computing, with applications spanning areas from chemistry and materials modeling to quantum optimization and benchmarking. A variety of approaches have been proposed to tackle this problem, including variational methods. However, variational training often struggle to navigate complex energy landscapes, frequently encountering suboptimal local minima or suffering from barren plateaus. In this work, we introduce an iterative strategy for ground-state preparation based on a stepwise (discretized) Hamiltonian deformation. By complementing the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) with adiabatic principles, we demonstrate that solving a sequence of intermediate problems facilitates tracking the ground-state manifold toward the target system, even as we scale the system size. We provide a rigorous theoretical foundation for this approach, proving a lower bound on the loss variance that suggests trainability throughout the deformation, provided the system remains away from gap closings. Numerical simulations, including the effects of shot noise, confirm that this path-dependent tracking consistently converges to the target ground state.
