Abstract

Quantum Neural Networks (QNN) is naturally the next step in the evolution of neuro-computing system. QNN may give us unprecedented possibilities in creating new system for information processing. The fundamentals of QNN are introduced, a model for quantum neuron is described. A quantum learning algorithm is proposed and its convergence property is discussed. The computational power of the quantum neuron is explored. Numerical and graphical results show that this single quantum neuron can perform XOR function unrealizable with a classical neuron and has the same computational power as the two-layer NN, it can be used to realize nonlinear mapping.

Most proposals for quantum neural networks (QNN) have skipped over the problem of how to learn the networks. This paper describes a novel model for quantum neuron and proposes its learning algorithm. It can be shown that this algorithm works on quantum systems and the convergence result demonstrates efficient performance of the proposed quantum neuron. Numerical and graphical results show that this single quantum neuron can perform the XOR function unrealizable with a classical neuron and can eliminate the necessity of building a network of neurons to obtain nonlinear mapping.

Nonlinear quantum neuron: A fundamental building block for quantum neural networks

Shilu Yan, Hongsheng Qi, Wei Cui

Quantum computing enables quantum neural networks (QNNs) to have great potential to surpass artificial neural networks. The powerful generalization of neural networks is attributed to nonlinear activation functions. Although various models related to QNNs have been developed, they are facing the challenge of merging the nonlinear, dissipative dynamics of neural computing into the linear, unitary quantum system. In this paper, we establish different quantum circuits to approximate nonlinear functions and then propose a generalizable framework to realize any nonlinear quantum neuron. We present two quantum neuron examples based on the proposed framework. The quantum resources required to construct a single quantum neuron are polynomial in function of the input size. Finally, both IBM Quantum Experience results and numerical simulations illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework.
