Classical optimization of parameterized quantum circuits is a widely studied methodology for the preparation of complex quantum states, as well as the solution of machine learning and optimization problems. However, it is well known that many proposed parameterized quantum circuit architectures suffer from drawbacks which limit their utility, such as their classical simulability or the hardness of optimization due to a problem known as "barren plateaus". We propose and study a class of dynamic parameterized quantum circuit architectures. These are parameterized circuits containing intermediate measurements and feedforward operations. In particular, we show that these architectures: 1. Provably do not suffer from barren plateaus. 2. Are expressive enough to describe arbitrarily deep unitary quantum circuits. 3. Are competitive with state of the art methods for preparing ground states and facilitating the representation of nontrivial thermal states. These features make the proposed architectures promising candidates for a variety of applications.

  1. Drift-resilient mid-circuit measurement and state preparation error mitigation for dynamic circuits

    quant-ph 2025-06 accept novelty 8.0 of 10

    Parity of repeated measurements realizes an amplified readout-error channel, enabling drift-resilient, characterization-free mitigation of mid-circuit and terminating measurement and preparation errors.

  2. Challenges in Barren Plateau Mitigation with Dynamic Parameterized Quantum Circuits

    quant-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Dynamic parameterized quantum circuits still leave a significant fraction of parameters untrainable despite cost anti-concentration, implying BP mitigation via DPQCs is at least as hard as designing BP-free unitaries.

  3. Pitfalls when tackling the exponential concentration of parameterized quantum models

    quant-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Exponentially concentrated measurement outcomes are statistically indistinguishable from fixed noise after polynomial shots, so classical post-processing cannot fix them, and common proposed remedies do not escape this.

  4. Scaling Quantum Algorithms via Dissipation: Avoiding Barren Plateaus

    quant-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Dissipative quantum circuits with periodic qubit resets provably avoid both unitary and noise-induced barren plateaus for gates near the final measurement.
