This paper proposes to apply memetic algorithms to train VQCs used as quantum classifiers and shows the benefits of exploiting this evolutionary optimization technique through a comparative experimental session.
Among the ready-to-implement quantum algorithms, Variational Quantum Circuits (VQCs) play a key role in several applications, including machine learning. Their strength lies in the use of a parameterized quantum circuit that is trained by means of an optimization algorithm run on a classical computer. In such a scenario, there is a strong need to design appropriate classical optimization schemes that deal efficiently with VQCs and pave the way for quantum advantage in machine learning. Among possible optimization schemes, those based on evolutionary computation are finding increasing interest, given the unconventional and nonanalytical nature of the problem to be solved. This paper proposes to apply memetic algorithms to train VQCs used as quantum classifiers and shows the benefits of exploiting this evolutionary optimization technique through a comparative experimental session.(c) 2023 Elsevier B.V.
