变分量子算法(VQAs)是利用近期量子硬件的主流方法,通过参数化量子电路与经典优化实现优势。然而,其实际应用受限于量子电路架构设计难题——需在表达能力、可训练性与硬件限制间取得平衡。现有基于进化的量子神经架构搜索方法虽能应对,但因需反复训练候选电路而计算成本高昂。本文发现量子神经切线核的格拉姆矩阵在特定条件下收敛,据此设计零样本代理模型,无需完整训练即可估计候选性能,显著加速架构搜索。基于此,提出MZeQAS:一种基于蒙特卡洛树搜索(MCTS)的零样本量子神经架构搜索框架。通过代理评估与MCTS探索结合,高效发现高性能架构。实验表明,MZeQAS在搜索效率和解质量上均优于现有方法,在噪声中等规模量子设备上具备可扩展性与有效性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Variational Quantum Algorithms (VQAs) are a leading approach to exploiting near-term quantum hardware, leveraging parameterized quantum circuits and classical optimization to achieve advantage. Despite their promise, the practical deployment of VQAs is challenged by the difficulty of designing quantum circuit architectures that balance expressivity, trainability, and hardware constraints. Existing evolutionary-based quantum neural architecture search methods address these challenges but suffer from high computational costs due to repeated training of candidate circuits. In this work, we identify a setting in which the Gram matrix of the Quantum Neural Tangent Kernel converges. Building on this observation, we design a zero-shot surrogate model to estimate candidate performance without full training, significantly accelerating the architecture search process. Using this surrogate, we propose MZeQAS, a Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS)-based Zero-Shot Quantum Neural Architecture Search framework for VQAs. By integrating proxy-based performance estimation with MCTS exploration, MZeQAS efficiently discovers high-performing architectures. Experimental results demonstrate that MZeQAS outperforms existing approaches in terms of both search efficiency and solution quality, providing a scalable and effective framework for advancing VQA deployment on noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices.
