Abstract
Machine learning plays a key role in many applications such as data mining and image recognition.Classification is one subcategory under machine learning. In this paper we propose a simple quantum circuitbased on the nearest mean classifier to classified handwriting characters. Our circuit is a simplified circuit fromthe quantum support vector machine [Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 140504 (2015)] which uses quantum matrix inversealgorithm to find optimal hyperplane that separated two different classes. In our case the hyperplane is foundusing projections and rotations on the Bloch sphere.
