Generative Replay Mitigates Sample Starvation in Quantum Architecture Search

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2609.11248v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) can automate quantum architecture search, but its scalability is limited when useful circuit trajectories become rare in the rapidly expanding search space. Existing replay mechanisms reuse observed transitions; the proposed learned model produces additional predicted one step transitions from real state-action seeds. Here we introduce GenQAS, a tensor network-guided RL framework that combines a fixed matrix product state warm-start with prioritized generative replay. A learned local transition model generates synthetic circuit transitions on demand and mixes them with real experience during Double Deep Q-Network updates. Under a random exploration analysis, near ground state circuits occupy a rapidly shrinking r
