Abstract

It has been known that a variety of optimization problems can be solved with a neural network, and that a quantum computer executes real parallel computation. A quantum neural network has been proposed to incorporate quantum dynamics into a neural network. In this study, we test the possibility of actual implementation of a quantum neural network with a nuclear spin as a qubit. First, we introduce the relationship between a spin and a neuron, then describe the adiabatic Hamiltonian evolution applied for the state change. Next, we describe a real spin quantum system and show the simulation results. A proposed nuclear spin system behaves as a neuron with inhibitory interactions, as expected in analogy to a Hopfield network.

Qubit Neural Network

Nobuyuki Matsui, H. Nishimura, Teijiro Isokawa

Recently, quantum neural networks have been explored as one of the candidates for improving the computational efficiency of neural networks. In this chapter, after giving a brief review of quantum computing, the authors introduce our qubit neural network, which is a multi-layered neural network composed of quantum bit neurons. In this description, it is indispensable to use the complex-valued representation, which is based on the concept of quantum bit (qubit). By means of the simulations in solving the parity check problems as a bench mark examination, we show that the computational power of the qubit neural network is superior to that of the conventional complex-valued and real-valued neural networks. Furthermore, the authors explore its applications such as image processing and pattern recognition. Thus they clarify that this model outperforms the conventional neural networks.

Neuromorphic Adiabatic Quantum Computation

Shigeo Sato, Mitsunaga Kinjo

The advantage of quantum mechanical dynamics in information processing has attracted much interest, and dedicated studies on quantum computation algorithms indicate that a quantum computer has remarkable computational power in certain tasks. Quantum properties such as quantum superposition and quantum tunneling are worth studying because they may overcome the weakness of gradient descent method in classical neural networks. Also, the technique established for neural networks can be useful for developing a quantum algorithm. In this chapter, first the authors show the effectiveness of incorporating quantum dynamics and then propose neuromorphic adiabatic quantum computation algorithm based on the adiabatic change of Hamiltonian. The proposed method can be viewed as one of complex-valued neural networks because a qubit operates like a neuron. Next, the performance of the proposed algorithm is studied by applying it to a combinatorial optimization problem. Finally, they discuss the learning ability and hardware implementation.

Quantum Neural Network for Quantum Neural Computing

Min-Gang Zhou, Zhiping Liu, Hua‐Lei Yin +3 more

Neural networks have achieved impressive breakthroughs in both industry and academia. How to effectively develop neural networks on quantum computing devices is a challenging open problem. Here, we propose a new quantum neural network model for quantum neural computing using (classically controlled) single-qubit operations and measurements on real-world quantum systems with naturally occurring environment-induced decoherence, which greatly reduces the difficulties of physical implementations. Our model circumvents the problem that the state-space size grows exponentially with the number of neurons, thereby greatly reducing memory requirements and allowing for fast optimization with traditional optimization algorithms. We benchmark our model for handwritten digit recognition and other nonlinear classification tasks. The results show that our model has an amazing nonlinear classification ability and robustness to noise. Furthermore, our model allows quantum computing to be applied in a wider context and inspires the earlier development of a quantum neural computer than standard quantum computers.

A quantum Hopfield neural network model and image recognition

Ge Liu, Wenping Ma, Hao Cao +1 more

Abstract Quantum computing is a new mode that follows the laws of quantum mechanics. It performs computational tasks based on the control of quantum units. From the view of computable problems, quantum computers can only solve the problems that traditional computers can solve, but considering the efficiency of computation, due to the existence of quantum superposition, some known quantum algorithms are exponentially faster than traditional general-purpose computers. In this article, we combine quantum computing with a classical neural network to design a quantum Hopfield network. Each neuron is initialized to a specified state and evolved into a steady state. The output result is one of patterns in a training set. We also present an application of this protocol in image recognition. The simulation results show that this network works in the quantum environment and the output images are correct, therefore the feasibility of this protocol is verified.
