Equivalence Checking of Parameterized Quantum Circuits: Verifying the Compilation ofVariational Quantum Algorithms
摘要
This chapter presents a method for equivalence checking of parameterized quantum circuits, which is crucial for verifying the compilation of variational quantum algorithms. The proposed multi-stage method first attempts to prove the equivalence of two parameterized circuits using the ZX-calculus. If this fails, it instantiates the parameters and employs a conventional complete equivalence checker. The chapter also introduces an instantiation scheme that simplifies most parameterized gates, ensuring a complete equivalence checking procedure for parameterized quantum circuits.
