Classical State Preparation for Variational Quantum Algorithms via Reinforcement Learning

Gino Kwun, Dhanvi Bharadwaj, Gokul Subramanian Ravi

Computer Science and Engineering University of Michigan Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA

Variational Quantum Algorithms (VQAs) potentially offer a pathway to practical quantum advantage, but their optimization is heavily hindered by barren plateaus and numerous local minima. While classically simulable Clifford circuits can warm-start VQAs to accelerate convergence, existing heuristic-based initialization methods struggle to scale within vast combinatorial search spaces. To overcome this bottleneck, we propose CRiSP (a Clifford Reinforcement Learning agent for State Preparation), a framework that formulates discrete prefix selection as a sequential decision-making problem. CRiSP utilizes Neural-Guided Monte Carlo Tree Search, driven by a Transformer-based policy trained via self-play, to insert learned Clifford gates before fixed parameterized rotations. This enables the construction of high-quality initial states entirely through polynomial-time classical stabilizer simulation without altering the underlying circuit architecture. By integrating a curriculum learning strategy that progressively expands the search horizon, the agent efficiently scales to deep circuits. Evaluated on QAOA benchmarks of up to

22

qubits and

1{,}370

parameters, CRiSP outperforms state-of-the-art Clifford initialization methods by a mean of

3.17\times

(max

45.02\times

) in average energy accuracy and

2.44\times

(max

16.01\times

) in best-achieved energy accuracy. Assessments on VQE tasks further demonstrate the framework's robustness and generalizability.
