However, control sequences generated with a system model may suffer from model bias, leading to low fidelity. While model-free reinforcement learning (RL) methods have been developed to avoid such biases, training an RL agent from scratch can be time-consuming, often taking hours to gather enough samples for convergence. This challenge has hindered the broad application of RL techniques to larger and more complex quantum control issues, limiting their adaptability. In this work, we use Reinforcement Learning from Demonstration (RLfD) to leverage the control sequences generated with system models and further optimize them with RL to avoid model bias. By avoiding learning from scratch and starting with reasonable control pulse shapes, this approach can increase sample efficiency by reducing the number of samples, which can significantly reduce the training time. Thus, this method can effectively handle pulse shapes that are discretized into more than 1000 pieces without compromising final fidelity. We have simulated the preparation of several high-fidelity non-classical states using the RLfD method. We also find that the training process is more stable when using RLfD. In addition, this method is suitable for fast gate calibration using reinforcement learning.</p>","PeriodicalId":19212,"journal":{"name":"npj Quantum Information","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144710627","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Quantum Circuit Born machines produce discrete distributions over bitstrings whose length is exactly the number of qubits.

While these models have been explored experimentally, their expressivity remains underexplored. In this work, we formalize this family and establish its theoretical foundation. We prove the universality of several variational circuit architectures for generating continuous multivariate distributions and derive tight resource bounds to reach universality using tools related to the Holevo bound.

For purposes of demonstrating quantum computational advantage as well as practical applications, a large photon number is often desirable.

In this work, we examine the computational complexity implications of increasing the photon number by introducing coherent states. This displaces the state in phase space and as such we call this modified problem <i>Displaced GBS</i>. By utilising a connection to the matching polynomial in graph theory, we first describe an efficient classical algorithm for Displaced GBS when displacement is high or when the output state is represented by a non-negative graph.

We find that the conventional quantum Cramér–Rao bound underestimates the effect of statistical noise, because the biases of parameters were inappropriately ignored. Given that probability estimation is unbiased, defining precision based on probability distributions provides a more accurate approach. This leads to a correction of factor 2 to the traditional precision lower bound. The trade-off between precision and accuracy shows that precision can be further improved by sacrificing accuracy, while it should be restricted by the inherent precision limit determined by the number of samples. The inherent precision limit can reach the Heisenberg scaling even without entanglement resources, which, however, comes at the cost of significantly reduced accuracy. We show that increasing sampling may decrease accuracy when one pursues excessive precision, which indicates that the trade-off should be considered even with unlimited resources.</p>","PeriodicalId":19212,"journal":{"name":"npj Quantum Information","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144578329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
