Neural-Network Inverse Design of SRF Cavities and Transmons for Bosonic Quantum Computation

In this work, a novel algorithm structured on Lie algebras for the approximate quantum state preparation problem is proposed, addressing a challenge of fundamental importance in many areas of quantum computing. The algorithm uses a variational quantum circuit designed on the Standard Recursive Block Basis (SRBB), a hierarchical construction for the matrix algebra of the $SU(2^n)$ group, which is capable of linking the variational parameters with the topology of the Lie group. Compared to the full algebra, using only diagonal components reduces the number of CNOTs by an exponential factor, as well as the circuit depth, in full agreement with the relaxation principle inherent to the approximation methodology of minimizing resources while achieving high accuracy. The desired quantum state is then approximated by a novel quantum neural network, which is designed based on the diagonal SRBB sub-algebra. This approach provides a new scheme for approximate quantum state preparation in a variational framework and a specific use case for the SRBB hierarchy. The performance of the algorithm is assessed with different loss functions, such as fidelity, trace distance, and Frobenius norm, in relation to two optimizers: Adam and Nelder-Mead. The results highlight the potential of SRBB in close connection with the geometry of unitary groups, achieving high accuracy of up to 4 qubits in simulation, but also its current limitations with an increasing number of qubits. Additionally, the approximate SRBB-based QSP algorithm has been tested on real quantum devices to assess its performance with a small number of qubits.

Inverse design of RF passive components from S-parameters is a high-dimensional, ill-posed problem, and prior generative approaches are limited to single-layer binary-metallization structures. This paper presents an inverse design approach that generates passive components from partial S-parameter inputs on an $8\times8$ mm board discretized at $64\times64$ pixels with sub-pixel grayscale metallization across 1-20 GHz. The framework generates two-layer copper layouts with vias, with hard physical constraints on feed locations enforced through annealed Langevin projection, flexible multi-modal conditioning on partial S-parameter specifications, port locations, dielectric properties, reference topology, and variable port placement. Candidate designs are generated in seconds, with surrogate-predicted S-parameters matching targets to within $0.77 \pm 1.28$ dB weighted mean absolute error. We validate the approach with two fabricated designs on RO4003C: a manufacturable alternative to a hairpin filter whose coupling gaps violate fabrication rules, and a combline bandpass filter designed from scratch given only target S-parameters.

Neural-network quantum states have emerged as a powerful variational framework for quantum many-body systems, with recent progress often driven by massively parallel architectures such as transformers. Recurrent neural network quantum states, however, are frequently regarded as intrinsically sequential and therefore less scalable. Here we revisit this view by showing that modern recurrent architectures can support fast, accurate, and computationally accessible neural quantum state simulations. Using autoregressive recurrent wave functions together with recent advances in parallelizable recurrence, we develop variational ansätze, called parallel scan recurrent neural quantum states (PSR-NQS), which can be trained efficiently within variational Monte Carlo in one and two spatial dimensions. We demonstrate accurate benchmark results and show that, with iterative retraining, our approach reaches two-dimensional spin lattices as large as $52\times52$ while remaining in agreement with available quantum Monte Carlo data. Our results establish recurrent architectures as a practical and promising route toward scalable neural quantum state simulations with modest computational resources.
