Abstract

A novel neural networks model with quantum weights is present.Firstly, based on the information processing modes of biology neuron and quantum computing theory, a quantum neuron model is presented, which is composed of weighting, aggregating, activating, and inspiriting.Secondly the quantum neural networks model based on quantum neuron is constructed in which the input and the output are real vectors; the linked weight and the activation value are qubits.On the basic of the gradient descent algorithm, a learning algorithm of this model is proposed.It is shown that this algorithm is super-linearly convergent under certain conditions and can increase the probability of getting the global optimal solution.Finally, the availability of the model is illustrated in both convergence speed and convergence rate by two application examples of pattern recognition and function approximation.

Quantum-Inspired Neural Network with Quantum Weights and Real Weights

Fuhua Shang

To enhance the approximation ability of neural networks, by introducing quantum rotation gates to the traditional BP networks, a novel quantum-inspired neural network model is proposed in this paper. In our model, the hidden layer consists of quantum neurons. Each quantum neuron carries a group of quantum rotation gates which are used to update the quantum weights. Both input and output layer are composed of the traditional neurons. By employing the back propagation algorithm, the training algorithms are designed. Simulation-based experiments using two application examples of pattern recognition and function approximation, respectively, illustrate the availability of the proposed model.

Quantum Neuron: an elementary building block for machine learning on quantum computers

Yudong Cao, Gian Giacomo Guerreschi, Alán Aspuru‐Guzik

Even the most sophisticated artificial neural networks are built by aggregating substantially identical units called neurons. A neuron receives multiple signals, internally combines them, and applies a non-linear function to the resulting weighted sum. Several attempts to generalize neurons to the quantum regime have been proposed, but all proposals collided with the difficulty of implementing non-linear activation functions, which is essential for classical neurons, due to the linear nature of quantum mechanics. Here we propose a solution to this roadblock in the form of a small quantum circuit that naturally simulates neurons with threshold activation. Our quantum circuit defines a building block, the "quantum neuron", that can reproduce a variety of classical neural network constructions while maintaining the ability to process superpositions of inputs and preserve quantum coherence and entanglement. In the construction of feedforward networks of quantum neurons, we provide numerical evidence that the network not only can learn a function when trained with superposition of inputs and the corresponding output, but that this training suffices to learn the function on all individual inputs separately. When arranged to mimic Hopfield networks, quantum neural networks exhibit properties of associative memory. Patterns are encoded using the simple Hebbian rule for the weights and we demonstrate attractor dynamics from corrupted inputs. Finally, the fact that our quantum model closely captures (traditional) neural network dynamics implies that the vast body of literature and results on neural networks becomes directly relevant in the context of quantum machine learning.

Algorithm and Application of the Quantum-Inspired Neural Network Model

To enhance the approximation and generalization ability of classical artificial neural networks,a quantum-inspired neural network model,whose input of each dimension is a discrete sequence,is proposed.This model concludes three layers,in which the hidden layer consists of quantum-inspired neurons,and the output layer consists of common neurons.The quantum-inspired neuron consists of the quantum rotation gates and the multi-qubits controlled-rotation gates.By using the information feedback of target qubit from output to input in multi-qubits controlled-rotation gate,the overall memory of input sequences is realized.The output of quantum-inspired neuron is obtained from the entanglements of multi-qubits in controlled-rotation gates.The learning algorithm is designed in detail according to the basic principles of quantum computation.The characteristics of input sequence can be effectively obtained by way ofbreadthanddepth.The simulation results show that,when the input nodes and the length of the sequence satisfy a certain relations,the proposed model is obviously superior to the common artificial neural networks.
