Abstract
Flow models generate trajectories from an initial distribution to a target distribution by solving an ordinary differential equation defined by a velocity field. Flow matching learns this velocity field by modeling the transport dynamics between the two distributions. Wavefunction flow establishes a formal connection between flow models and quantum dynamics by introducing a continuity Hamiltonian, which drives the Schrödinger evolution of quantum states. In this paper, we investigate accurate and efficient quantum simulation of the wavefunction flow, thereby realizing the efficient implementation of flow models on quantum computers. We first leverage a quantum read-only memory (QROM)-based phase kickback framework for the wavefunction flow simulation, generating probability densities that closely match those produced by the corresponding conventional flow model. To address the high circuit-resource cost, we further incorporate a trained quantum neural network (QNN) into the phase kickback framework, replacing QROM for data encoding. Numerical experiments demonstrate that our proposed method implements flow models on quantum computers more efficiently, since it maintains the accuracy of wavefunction flow simulation compared with the QROM-based framework, and significantly reduces the circuit resources.
