Magic-Informed Quantum Architecture Search

ai-technology · 2026-05-07

Researchers propose a magic-informed quantum architecture search (QAS) technique that controls nonstabilizerness (magic) in quantum circuit design. Inspired by AlphaGo, the method uses Monte Carlo Tree Search with a Graph Neural Network (GNN) to estimate magic, steering searches toward high- or low-magic regimes. Benchmarked on ground-state energy and quantum state approximation problems, the technique effectively influences magic across the search tree.
