An LLM System for Autonomous Variational Quantum Circuit Design

The design of high performing quantum circuits remains largely dependent on human expertise. We introduce an autonomous agentic framework that employs large language models (LLMs) to conduct iterative quantum circuit designs under explicit design constraints. Our system integrates seven components: Exploration, Generation, Discussion, Validation, Storage, Evaluation, and Review. These components form a closed-loop workflow that combines web-based knowledge acquisition, literature-grounded critique, executable code generation, and experimental feedback. We evaluate the framework on two tasks: quantum feature map construction for quantum machine learning and ansatz generation for variational quantum eigensolver applications in quantum chemistry. In image classification benchmarks, the best generated feature map outperforms representative quantum feature maps and, when scaled to larger qubit counts, surpasses the classical radial basis function kernel. In molecular ground state estimation across seven molecules, the generated ansatz attains competitive accuracy with widely used chemically inspired and hardware-efficient constructions while satisfying the imposed scaling constraints. These results establish LLM driven agentic system as a viable paradigm for automated quantum circuit design and illustrate how AI systems can participate in iterative scientific optimization workflows across scientific domains.

Automating quantum feature map design via large language models

Quantum feature maps are a key component of quantum machine learning, encoding classical data into quantum states to exploit the expressive power of high-dimensional Hilbert spaces. Despite their theoretical promise, designing quantum feature maps that offer practical advantages over classical methods remains an open challenge. In this work, we propose an agentic system that autonomously generates, evaluates, and refines quantum feature maps using large language models. The system consists of five component: Generation, Storage, Validation, Evaluation, and Review. Using these components, it iteratively improves quantum feature maps. Experiments on the MNIST dataset show that it can successfully discover and refine feature maps without human intervention. The best feature map generated outperforms existing quantum baselines and achieves competitive accuracy compared to classical kernels across MNIST, Fashion-MNIST, and CIFAR-10. Our approach provides a framework for exploring dataset-adaptive quantum features and highlights the potential of LLM-driven automation in quantum algorithm design.

Character-level Japanese Text Generation with Attention Mechanism for Chest Radiography Diagnosis

Chest radiography is a general method for diagnosing a patient's condition and identifying important information; therefore, radiography is used extensively in routine medical practice in various situations, such as emergency medical care and medical checkup. However, a high level of expertise is required to interpret chest radiographs. Thus, medical specialists spend considerable time in diagnosing such huge numbers of radiographs. In order to solve these problems, methods for generating findings have been proposed. However, the study of generating chest radiograph findings has primarily focused on the English language, and to the best of our knowledge, no studies have studied Japanese data on this subject. There are two challenges involved in generating findings in the Japanese language. The first challenge is that word splitting is difficult because the boundaries of Japanese word are not clear. The second challenge is that there are numerous orthographic variants. For deal with these two challenges, we proposed an end-to-end model that generates Japanese findings at the character-level from chest radiographs. In addition, we introduced the attention mechanism to improve not only the accuracy, but also the interpretation ability of the results. We evaluated the proposed method using a public dataset with Japanese findings. The effectiveness of the proposed method was confirmed using the Bilingual Evaluation Understudy score. And, we were confirmed from the generated findings that the proposed method was able to consider the orthographic variants. Furthermore, we confirmed via visual inspection that the attention mechanism captures the features and positional information of radiographs.
