Characterizing the loss landscape of variational quantum circuits

Patrick Huembeli and Alexandre Dauphin

30/09/2020

Using PennyLane and complex PyTorch, we compute the Hessian of the loss function of VQCs and show how to characterize the loss landscape with it. We show how the Hessian can be used to escape flat regions of the loss landscape.
