QuantumNAS: Noise-Adaptive Search for Robust Quantum Circuits

Understand

Quantum noise is the key challenge in Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) computers.

• Previous work for mitigating noise has primarily focused on gate-level or pulse-level noise-adaptive compilation.
• However, limited research efforts have explored a higher level of optimization by making the quantum circuits themselves resilient to noise.
• We propose QuantumNAS, a comprehensive framework for noise-adaptive co-search of the variational circuit and qubit mapping.
