Simulating quantum circuits with a neural statebank

Predicting the output of quantum circuits is a central bottleneck for verifying quantum processors because a generic wavefunction grows exponentially with system size. We introduce a neural statebank that learns this wavefunction along the circuit trajectory. Each layer is stored as an autoregressive Transformer checkpoint trained from local gate updates to the preceding checkpoint, producing a compact neural representation that can evaluate amplitudes and generate independent samples. On long-range circuits combining entanglement, magic, and non-diagonal branching, a 0.3-million-parameter statebank reaches sim 10^-2 infidelity at 34 qubits, outperforming the other tested approximate simulators while using far less memory than exact state-vector evolution. The same architecture accurately simulates quantum approximate optimization, Clifford+T, and Clifford circuits.
