Hybrid Quantum-Classical Inverse Design of Metasurfaces for Tailored High Q-factor Response
摘要
The inverse design of metasurfaces is challenging due to complex interdependencies between structural parameters and electromagnetic responses, making traditional optimization methods computationally expensive and often suboptimal. This study employs a hybrid quantum-classical machine learning approach, known as the Latent Style-based Quantum GAN (LaSt-QGAN), to perform the inverse design of metasurfaces. This method integrates a Variational Autoencoder (VAE) with a Quantum Generative Adversarial Network (QGAN) to enhance the optimization of metasurface designs aimed at achieving narrow-band absorption. The proposed method results in a 6-fold reduction in training time and a 40-fold decrease in data requirements compared to traditional GAN-based approaches in both simulator and quantum hardware. The produced metasurface designs demonstrated a higher fidelity in relation to the target absorption spectra compared to the classical GAN method considered. Importantly, the proposed model generates metasurface designs with higher Q-factor (Q=
