Variational quantum circuits are promising tools whose efficacy depends on their optimisation method. For noise-free unitary circuits, the quantum generalisation of natural gradient descent was recently introduced. The method can be shown to be equivalent to imaginary time evolution, and is highly effective due to a metric tensor reconciling the classical parameter space to the devices Hilbert space. Here we generalise quantum natural gradient to consider arbitrary quantum states (both mixed and pure) via completely positive maps; thus our circuits can incorporate both imperfect unitary gates and fundamentally non-unitary operations such as measurements. Whereas the unitary variant relates to classical Fisher information, here we find that quantum Fisher information defines the core metric in the space of density operators. Numerical simulations indicate that our approach can outperform other variational techniques when circuit noise is present. We finally assess the practical feasibility of our implementation and argue that its scalability is only limited by the number and quality of imperfect gates and not by the number of qubits.
Let $H_1, H_2$ be Hilbert spaces of the same finite dimension $ge2$, and $C$ an arbitrary quantum circuit with (principal) input state in $H_1$ and (principal) output state in $H_2$. $C$ may use ancillas and produce garbage which is traced out. $C$ m
A quantum generalization of Natural Gradient Descent is presented as part of a general-purpose optimization framework for variational quantum circuits. The optimization dynamics is interpreted as moving in the steepest descent direction with respect
Dual-unitary quantum circuits can be used to construct 1+1 dimensional lattice models for which dynamical correlations of local observables can be explicitly calculated. We show how to analytically construct classes of dual-unitary circuits with any
A unitary $t$-design is a powerful tool in quantum information science and fundamental physics. Despite its usefulness, only approximate implementations were known for general $t$. In this paper, we provide for the first time quantum circuits that ge
We study the computational power of unitary Clifford circuits with solely magic state inputs (CM circuits), supplemented by classical efficient computation. We show that CM circuits are hard to classically simulate up to multiplicative error (assumin
