Abstract

The classification of higher-order photon emission becomes important with more methods being developed for deterministic multiphoton generation. The widely used second-order correlation g(2) is not sufficient to determine the quantum purity of higher photon Fock states. Traditional characterization methods require a large amount of photon detection events, which leads to increased measurement and computation time. Here, we demonstrate a machine learning model based on a 2D Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for rapid classification of multiphoton Fock states up to |3⟩ with an overall accuracy of 94%. By fitting the g(3) correlation with simulated photon detection events, the model exhibits an efficient performance particularly with sparse correlation data, with 800 co-detection events to achieve an accuracy of 90%. Using the proposed experimental setup, this CNN classifier opens up the possibility for quasi-real-time classification of higher photon states, which holds broad applications in quantum technologies.

A Deep Learning Model for Multiclass Image Classification Using Quantum CNN

Roopa Golchha, Gyanendra K. Verma

Technological developments in machine learning have opened up new avenues of advancement almost in every sector. The main challenge is communicating effectively with machines and enhancing their classification abilities. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is a deep learning technique in pattern recognition that effectively utilizes data correlation information. In contrast, CNN can only train effectively if the data or model dimension is manageable. Quantum CNN (QCNN) offers a new approach to this problem using quantum computing techniques to enhance the functionality of the classical CNN model. This research article provides an overview of the implementation of deep learning with quantum computing models for image classification. The paper also discusses the modelling approach for CNN in classical and quantum domains. In this paper, we present a model for multiclass image classification using the traditional CNN and the CNN with the quantum layer using the MNIST and CIFAR-10 datasets. The simulation results show that the proposed QCNN model has lower loss and comparatively more enhanced performance than the traditional CNN model. Also, the proposed model performs relatively better when compared with recent state-of-the-art approaches.

A Quantum Convolutional Neural Network Approach for Object Detection and Classification

Gowri Namratha Meedinti, Kandukuri Sai Srirekha, Radhakrishnan Delhibabu

This paper presents a comprehensive evaluation of the potential of Quantum Convolutional Neural Networks (QCNNs) in comparison to classical Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Artificial / Classical Neural Network (ANN) models. With the increasing amount of data, utilizing computing methods like CNN in real-time has become challenging. QCNNs overcome this challenge by utilizing qubits to represent data in a quantum environment and applying CNN structures to quantum computers. The time and accuracy of QCNNs are compared with classical CNNs and ANN models under different conditions such as batch size and input size. The maximum complexity level that QCNNs can handle in terms of these parameters is also investigated. The analysis shows that QCNNs have the potential to outperform both classical CNNs and ANN models in terms of accuracy and efficiency for certain applications, demonstrating their promise as a powerful tool in the field of machine learning.

High-Accuracy Entanglement Detection via a Convolutional Neural Network with Noise Resistance

Qian Sun, Yanyan Song, Zhichuan Liao +1 more

Quantum entanglement detection is one of the fundamental tasks in quantum information science. Conventional methods for quantum state tomography exhibit limitations in scalability as the number of qubits increases, leading to exponential growth in the number of unknown parameters and required measurements. Consequently, the accuracy enhancement achieved by these methods is constrained. In response to this challenge, we developed a tailored convolutional neural network (CNN) model capable of effectively detecting entanglement in two-qubit quantum states, achieving an accuracy exceeding 97.5%. Notably, even in the presence of noise, this model retains its robust performance, displaying resilience against a tolerable level of noise contamination. Furthermore, the inherent generalization power of CNNs allows our model, which was initially trained on a specific spectrum of quantum states, to extend its applicability to wider states, positioning it as an outstanding tool for the further application of machine learning in the field of quantum computing, opening up new pathways for solving entanglement detection problems in quantum information.

Image Classification using Quantum Convolutional Neural Network

Ravikant Maurya, Sarsij Tripathi

The unprecedented progress in the domain of quantum computing in the last few years has influenced researchers around the globe to solve multitudes of problems in this promising computing technology. This power of the quantum computer has allowed multitudes of computationally hard problems to be sped up exponentially over their classical counterparts. Along with such power, another promising application of quantum computing has been found in image processing and machine learning. Researches in both quantum image processing and quantum machine learning are still in their infancy but promise exceptional power over its classical counterparts. In this thesis, neural networks will be trained to determine parameters for various parametric quantum circuits to perform important classification tasks, such as image classification. But for image classification, features from the images must also be extracted and epresented in terms of qubits, requiring convolutional layers tailored for quantum techniques. This thesis aims to find good quantum convolutional neural network architectures for image classification with higher accuracy. This is still challenging due to increased cost and error with a higher number of qubits within a system. This thesis is expected to be important in the future direction of the research of quantum CNN.
