Description

Quantum regression tasks for predicting properties of quantum states are commonly addressed using variational quantum algorithms. While variational quantum circuits are highly expressive and allow to achieve reasonable accuracy, training these circuits may demand a considerable amount of time and resources. In this work, we propose an approach of constructing problem-specific quantum regression models with encoding relevant symmetries and regularizing the variance. The proposed method is based on finding the coefficients of the linear combination of suitably chosen observables. Although it requires the knowledge of the symmetries of the problem in question, the method does not involve parameterized quantum circuits, and the training is done efficiently once the observables are measured. We demonstrate this method on two examples: Prediction of the transverse field strength in the Ising model, and quantification of entanglement in bipartite qubit systems. Our approach is accurate and less resource-intensive than conventional variational methods.
