Designing performant and noise-robust circuits for Quantum Machine Learning (QML) is challenging --- the design space scales exponentially with circuit size, and there are few well-supported guiding principles for QML circuit design. Although recent Quantum Circuit Search (QCS) methods attempt to search for such circuits, they directly adopt designs from classical Neural Architecture Search (NAS) that are misaligned with the unique constraints of quantum hardware, resulting in high search overheads and severe performance bottlenecks.
