Noise-Aware Machine Learning for Accelerating QAOA in Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum Computing
摘要
This study investigates the impact of depolarising noise on QAOA circuits, focusing on enhancing performance in solving the NP-Hard MaxCut problem. Using machine learning models to predict parameter sets, the Gaussian Process Regression model reduced the average and maximum iterations of the classical optimizer by 8.16% and 50%, and accelerated optimization by 13.02% on average and up to 37.65%. Training on a dataset with depolarising noise (0.01% on single qubit and 1% on two qubit gates) further reduced iterations by 28.33% and sped up optimization by 21.36%. The research offers new insights into noisy QAOA circuits and their application on real quantum hardware.
