| contents | Quantum computing devices require exceptional control of their experimental parameters to prepare quantum states and simulate other quantum systems. Classical optimization procedures used to find such optimal control parameters, have further been shown in idealized settings to exhibit different regimes of learning. Of interest in this work is the overparameterization regime, where for systems with a sufficient number of parameters, global optima for prepared state and compiled unitary fidelities may potentially be reached exponentially quickly. Here, we study the robustness of overparameterization phenomena in the presence of experimental constraints on the controls, such as bounding or sharing parameters across operators, as well as in the presence of noise inherent to experimental setups. We observe that overparameterization phenomena are resilient in these realistic settings at short times, however fidelities decay to zero past a critical simulation duration due to accumulation of either quantum or classical noise. This critical depth is found to be logarithmic in the scale of noise, and optimal fidelities initially increase exponentially with depth, before decreasing polynomially with depth, and with noise. Our results demonstrate that parameterized ansatze can mitigate entropic effects from their environment, offering tantalizing opportunities for their application and experimental realization in near term quantum devices. |
