Diagonal Adaptive Non-local Observables on Quantum Neural Networks
The paper discusses Diagonal Adaptive Non-local Observables (ANOs) in the context of Quantum Neural Networks. It highlights how this approach can reduce the complexity and classical optimization costs associated with quantum observables. The authors propose a method that maintains the advantages of full ANOs while simplifying the computational requirements.
- ▪Diagonal ANOs can significantly enlarge the function space of Variational Quantum Algorithms.
- ▪This method reduces the complexity of $k$-local observables from $O(4^k)$ to $O(2^k).
- ▪Diagonal ANOs encompass conventional Variational Quantum Circuits as a special case.

However, this advantage is accompanied by a steep increase in the number of parameters, as well as the classical optimization cost for varying general Hermitian observables.
