在量子计算电路模型中模拟连续时间量子行走(CTQW)需将哈密顿量分解为可经泰罗展开实现的项。本文比较标准泡利分解与最近提出的匹配分解,前者在稠密图上更优,后者在稀疏图上更优。由于CX门主导当前硬件的错误率与运行时间,我们训练机器学习模型以预测给定图应采用哪种分解方式,使CX门数量最少。训练与评估基于布伦丹·麦凯数据库中全部11,117个连通8顶点图,直接测量类别平衡与重叠。使用12个特征:10个图的拓扑属性及两个分解项数(n_Pauli和n_match),均可无需转译电路即可计算。仅度方差与n_Pauli具有显著预测信号。多种模型的马修相关系数(MCC)集中在0.569至0.593之间,无明显架构优势。最终采用单隐层神经网络,在冻结后应用于更大规模的结构化与Erdos-Renyi图(最大256顶点)测试集,跨规模迁移成功,MCC从N=8时的0.785升至N≥64时的1.0。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Simulating a continuous-time quantum walk (CTQW) on a graph in the circuit model of quantum computing requires decomposing its Hamiltonian into terms that can be Trotterized into hardware-native gates. We consider two such decompositions: the standard Pauli decomposition and the recently introduced matching decomposition. Prior work suggests that the matching decomposition uses fewer CX gates on sparse graphs, while the Pauli decomposition uses fewer on denser graphs. Since CX gates dominate error and runtime on current hardware, we train machine learning models to predict, for a given graph, which of the two decompositions produces the smaller CX gate count. We train and evaluate on the complete population of all 11,117 connected eight-vertex graphs from Brendan McKay's database, so the class balance and overlap are measured directly rather than estimated. We use twelve features: ten topological properties of the graph and two that count the terms the Pauli and matching decompositions produce (n_Pauli and n_match), both computable without transpiling the simulation circuit. Standard topological properties alone provide little predictive power. Instead, the dominant signal comes from n_Pauli, a property of the Hamiltonian decomposition rather than an intrinsic property of the graph; degree variance is the only other feature that carries signal. Across a range of models the Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC) falls in a narrow band, from 0.569 untuned to 0.593 after tuning, so no single architecture stands out. We adopt a single-hidden-layer neural network at MCC 0.593. Applied frozen to a held-out, class-balanced test set of larger graphs (up to 256 vertices) from structured and Erdos-Renyi families, the model transfers, with MCC rising from 0.785 at N=8 to 1 at N>=64.
