abstract

Neural networks enjoy widespread success in both research and industry and, with the imminent advent of quantum technology, it is now a crucial challenge to design quantum neural networks for fully quantum learning tasks. Here we propose the use of quantum neurons as a building block for quantum feed-forward neural networks capable of universal quantum computation. We describe the efficient training of these networks using the fidelity as a cost function and provide both classical and efficient quantum implementations. Our method allows for fast optimisation with reduced memory requirements: the number of qudits required scales with only the width, allowing the optimisation of deep networks. We benchmark our proposal for the quantum task of learning an unknown unitary and find remarkable generalisation behaviour and a striking robustness to noisy training data.

The Capacity of Quantum Neural Networks

quant-ph · 2019-08-04 · conditional · novelty 5.0

The memory capacity of any quantum neural network is at most the information content of its trainable parameters, so classically-parameterized QNNs lack capacity advantage over classical NNs.
