Characterizing quantum circuits with qubit functional configurations.

ABSTRACT: We develop a systematic framework for characterizing all quantum circuits with qubit functional configurations. The qubit functional configuration is a mathematical structure that can classify the properties and behaviors of quantum circuits collectively. Major benefits of classifying quantum circuits in this way include: 1. All quantum circuits can be classified into corresponding types; 2. Each type characterizes important properties (such as circuit complexity) of the quantum circuits belonging to it; 3. Each type contains a huge collection of possible quantum circuits allowing systematic investigation of their common properties. We demonstrate the theory's application to analyzing the hardware-efficient ansatzes of variational quantum algorithms. For potential applications, the functio
