The quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) is a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm and has shown great advantages in approximately solving combinatorial optimization problems. This paper proposes a comprehensive QAOA-based ML detection scheme for binary symbols. As solving small-scale problems with the sparse channel matrices requires using only a 1-level QAOA, we derive a universal and concise analytical expression for the 1-level QAOA expectation in the proposed framework. This advancement helps analyze solutions to small-scale problems. For large-scale problems requiring more than 1-level QAOA, we introduce the CNOT gate elimination and circuit parallelization algorithm to decrease the number of error-prone CNOT gates and circuit depth and thus reduce the noise effect. We also propose a Bayesian optimization-based parameters initialization algorithm to obtain initial parameters of large-scale QAOA from small-scale and classical instances, increasing the likelihood of identifying the precise solution. In numerical experiments, we demonstrate resistance to noise by evaluating the bit error rate (BER). The result shows that the performance of our QAOA-based ML detector has improved significantly. The proposed scheme also shows significant advantages in both parameter convergence and the minimum convergence value from the convergence curves of the loss function.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":746,"journal":{"name":"Quantum Information Processing","volume":"24 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144914833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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}

A comprehensive review of 20 studies, selected from 2988 publications spanning 2019 to 2024, reveals significant progress in quasi-cyclic codes, quasi-orthogonal codes, and quasi-structured geometric codes, highlighting their growing importance in quantum error correction and information theory. The findings indicate that quasi-orthogonal codes that employ coefficient vector differential quasi-orthogonal space-time frequency coding demonstrated a <span>(1.20)</span> dB gain at a bit error rate of <span>(10^{-4})</span>, while reducing computational complexity. Quasi-structured geometric codes offered energy-efficient solutions, facilitating multi-state orthogonal signaling and reliable linear code construction. Furthermore, quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check codes with optimized information selection surpassed traditional forward error correction codes, achieving superior quantum error rates of <span>(10^{-5})</span> at <span>(10.00)</span> dB and <span>(10^{-6})</span> at <span>(15.00)</span> dB. Performance analysis showed that the effectiveness of error correction depends more on the frequency of six-length cycles than on girth, suggesting a new direction for optimization.
