Quantum computing for pattern classification

Maria Schuld, Ilya Sinayskiy, Francesco Petruccione

Published Dec 11, 2014• 4 citations
arXivHTMLPDF

Abstract

It is well known that for certain tasks, quantum computing outperforms classical computing. A growing number of contributions try to use this advantage in order to improve or extend classical machine learning algorithms by methods of quantum information theory. This paper gives a brief introduction into quantum machine learning using the example of pattern classification. We introduce a quantum pattern classification algorithm that draws on Trugenberger's proposal for measuring the Hamming distance on a quantum computer (CA Trugenberger, Phys Rev Let 87, 2001) and discuss its advantages using handwritten digit recognition as from the MNIST database.

An introduction to quantum machine learning

Maria Schuld, Ilya Sinayskiy, Francesco Petruccione

Machine learning algorithms learn a desired input-output relation from examples in order to interpret new inputs. This is important for tasks such as image and speech recognition or strategy optimisation, with growing applications in the IT industry. In the last couple of years, researchers investigated if quantum computing can help to improve classical machine learning algorithms. Ideas range from running computationally costly algorithms or their subroutines efficiently on a quantum computer to the translation of stochastic methods into the language of quantum theory. This contribution gives a systematic overview of the emerging field of quantum machine learning. It presents the approaches as well as technical details in an accessable way, and discusses the potential of a future theory of quantum learning.

QUANTUM MACHINE LEARNING

Amrit Raj, Jayakumar. Vaithiyashankar, Vishal Kaushik, Sathyaprakash Palaniyappan

Quantum machine learning, a cutting-edge topic of study, brings together the frontiers of quantum computing with classical machine learning. Quantum computing and machine learning may be able to help solve problems in each other's fields of expertise. Due to the surge of new data, there is growing fear that current machine learning algorithms may be exceeding their computational constraints. Thus, in certain machine learning tasks, quantum computing can be an advantage. Quantum machine learning research focuses on the creation and deployment of quantum software that could speed up machine learning in comparison to standard computing systems. Because of improvements in computing power and algorithmic innovation, machine learning approaches have emerged as powerful tools for detecting patterns in data. Because quantum systems exhibit unusual patterns that classical systems are unable to produce efficiently, it is plausible to assume that quantum computers will outperform classical computers on machine learning tasks. The following is a summary of the current state of quantum machine learning research.

The Use of Quantum Algorithms vs. Classical Algorithms in Machine Learning

Elina Saarikoski

Through the utilization of quantum phenomena to carry out computations that are beyond the capabilities of classical computers, quantum computing has the potential to revolutionize a variety of industries, including machine learning. In this research, we give a comparative study of conventional and quantum algorithms in the context of machine learning, and we compare and contrast the two types of algorithms. The advantages of quantum algorithms, such as quantum parallelism and entanglement, as well as their potential to outperform classical algorithms in tasks such as classification, clustering, and optimization, are investigated in this article. We explain the merits and limitations of quantum machine learning algorithms by means of theoretical analysis and practical tests. We also emphasize the possibility of these algorithms to achieve quantum advantage in certain scenarios. In addition, we examine the difficulties and opportunities associated with incorporating quantum computing into machine learning pipelines, and we describe potential future research objectives in this rapidly developing subject.

QUANTUM COMPUTING AND QUANTUM MACHINE LEARNING

Ashok Kumar, Manoj Kumar Gupta, Shyam Lal

Quantum machine learning lies at the intersection of quantum computing and classical machine learning, two rapidly advancing research fields. As the data required for classical models continues to grow, quantum computing offers a solution by handling large datasets more efficiently and potentially accelerating learning algorithms. Unlike classical systems, quantum systems generate unique patterns, suggesting that quantum computers may surpass classical ones in machine learning tasks. This paper reviews the current literature on quantum machine learning and its potential advantages in run time, capacity, and learning efficiency. Examples include quantum-enhanced models such as the hybrid Helmholtz machine, which improves run time through quantum sampling, and quantum neural networks, which offer increased capacity and better learning efficiency.
