Parameterized 4-Qubit EWL Quantum Game Circuits with Dirac-Solow-Swan Hamiltonian Integration for Quadruple Helix Disruptive Innovation Recommender Systems

Authors: Agung TrisetyarsoFithra Faisal HastiadiKridanto Surendro

Abstract

We present a novel parameterized 4-qubit Eisert-Wilkens-Lewenstein (EWL) quantum game circuit for recommender systems in quadruple helix innovation ecosystems (academia, industry, government, and civil society). The local strategy operators Ui=Ry(θi)U_{i} = R_y(θ_{i}) for each helix actor are directly tuned by normalized dominance weights extracted from real participant funding data (\texit{ecContribution}) in the European Commission CORDIS Horizon Europe database (project COVend, ID 101045956). The circuit employs a multi-qubit EWL entangler followed by parameterized local rotations, inverse entangler, and full measurement, achieving only 22 gates and circuit depth 11 while scaling as O(n)O(n) for nn-round helix communications. Measurement probabilities after the quantum game serve as recommender scores for disruptive versus sustaining innovation trends. These scores are subsequently mapped into the diagonal Dirac potential of a Dirac-Solow-Swan Hamiltonian, enabling time-evolution simulation of capital accumulation and bifurcation dynamics under disruptive innovation. Numerical experiments on real CORDIS quadruple-helix collaboration networks demonstrate the circuit's NISQ compatibility and its ability to forecast disruptive capital trajectories with high fidelity. The proposed framework bridges quantum game theory, parameterized quantum circuits, and relativistic economic growth models, offering a computationally efficient tool for innovation policy and strategic decision-making in complex socio-economic ecosystems. Complexity analysis and reproducibility are provided through open Qiskit implementations.

A four-player potential game for barren-plateau-aware quantum ansatz design

We cast the design of parameterized quantum circuits as a four-player potential game whose state is a circuit directed acyclic graph (DAG) and whose players encode trainability, non-stabilizerness, task performance, and hardware cost. Per-player restricted action sets factorize the move space into append, remove, retype, and rewire operations; a block-coordinate ε\varepsilon-Nash residual δNashδ_\text{Nash} certifies that no single player can improve unilaterally. A single weight sweep on MaxCut K4K_4 traces a Pareto frontier from a Clifford endpoint (M2/n,H)=(0,4.00)(M_2/n,\langle H\rangle)=(0,4.00) to a non-Clifford endpoint (0.48,3.30)(0.48,3.30). On three four-qubit hardware topologies (heavy-hex, 2×22\times 2 grid, Rydberg all-to-all), Nash search achieves the highest mean potential; on the 2×22\times 2 grid Nash reaches the theoretical ceiling Φmax=4.10Φ_\text{max}=4.10 on two of five seeds while the simulated-annealing baseline does so on one; paired Wilcoxon tests over five seeds cannot reject the null on any single topology (p0.22p\ge 0.22). On LiH/STO-3G, seeding Nash from a 58-gate Givens-doubles ansatz produces a 48-operation, depth-25 circuit retaining 97.7%97.7\% of the correlation energy while simultaneously reducing gate count, increasing non-stabilizerness, and controlling trainability. The framework is complementary to energy-only searches such as ADAPT-VQE and k-UpCCGSD, which reach chemical accuracy with fewer operations but do not optimize the other three axes.

Riemannian Optimization for Multi-Player Quantum Games on Product Unitary Manifolds

Quantum game theory is an extension of classical game theory that uses quantum principles in game theory. The Eisert-Wilkens-Lewenstein (EWL) quantum game is an early example of the two-player classical Prisoner's Dilemma transformed into a quantum Prisoner's Dilemma. In the EWL game, the players choose pure quantum strategies represented by unitary matrices. This extension can resolve the classical dilemma by enabling cooperative equilibrium with higher payoff. In this paper, we first discuss the Extended EWL (EEWL) for multiplayer quantum games with mixed strategies. In EEWL, each player controls a set of unitary operators as quantum actions and uses a classical mixed strategy over these actions. The payoffs are defined as expectation values of Hermitian reward operators acting on a shared quantum state, which is generated and measured according to the EEWL protocol. We then propose the Unitary Strategy Matrix Exponential Algorithm (USMEA), a geometry-aware sequential algorithm for the EEWL mixed-strategy setting, in which each player jointly learns a trainable set of local unitary actions and the associated classical mixing probabilities. Thereby it acts as a learning-and-control layer for multi-agent quantum decision systems. We analyze the convergence properties of USMEA under standard smoothness and step-size conditions and validate the theory with numerical experiments. These results show how classical optimization methods can be systematically integrated into the design and analysis of engineered quantum strategic interactions.

SCALAR: A Neurosymbolic Framework for Automated Conjecture and Reasoning in Quantum Circuit Analysis

In this paper, we present SCALAR (Symbolic Conjecture and LLM-Assisted Reasoning), a neurosymbolic framework for automated conjecture generation in quantum circuit analysis built on top of the CUDA-Q open source framework. The system integrates quantum simulation, symbolic conjecture generation, and LLM-based interpretation. We evaluate SCALAR on 82 MaxCut instances from the MQLib benchmark dataset and extend the analysis to 2,000 randomly generated graphs across four topologies: regular, Erdos-Renyi, Barabasi-Albert, and Watts-Strogatz. The framework generates conjectured bounds relating optimal QAOA parameters to graph invariants, including known relationships such as periodicity constraints on the phase separation parameter γγ. SCALAR also recovers previously reported parameter transfer phenomena across structurally similar instances. Additionally, the system identifies correlations between graph structural features and optimization landscape properties, which we characterize through invariant-based descriptors. Using CUDA-Q tensor network simulator, we scale experiments to instances of up to 77 qubits. We discuss the accuracy, generality, and limitations of the generated conjectures, including sensitivity to graph class and quantum circuit depth.
