Abstract

In near-term quantum computers, the operations are realized by unitary quantum gates. The precise and stable working mechanism of quantum gates is essential for the implementation of any complex quantum computations. Here, we define a method for the unsupervised control of quantum gates in near-term quantum computers. We model a scenario in which a tensor product structure of non-stable quantum gates is not controllable in terms of control theory. We prove that the non-stable quantum gate becomes controllable via a machine learning method if the quantum gates formulate an entangled gate structure.

Quantum Algorithms for Unsupervised Machine Learning and Neural Networks

Jonas Landman

In this thesis, we investigate whether quantum algorithms can be used in the field of machine learning for both long and near term quantum computers. We will first recall the fundamentals of machine learning and quantum computing and then describe more precisely how to link them through linear algebra: we introduce quantum algorithms to efficiently solve tasks such as matrix product or distance estimation. These results are then used to develop new quantum algorithms for unsupervised machine learning, such as k-means and spectral clustering. This allows us to define many fundamental procedures, in particular in vector and graph analysis. We will also present new quantum algorithms for neural networks, or deep learning. For this, we introduce an algorithm to perform a quantum convolution product on images, as well as a new way to perform a fast tomography on quantum states. We prove that these quantum algorithms are faster versions of equivalent classical algorithms, but exhibit random effects due to the quantum nature of the computation. Many simulations have been carried out to study these effects and measure their learning accuracy on real data. Finally, we will present a quantum orthogonal neural network circuit adapted to the currently available small and imperfect quantum computers. This allows us to perform real experiments to test our theory.

State stabilization for gate-model quantum computers

Laszlo Gyongyosi, Sándor Imre

Gate-model quantum computers can allow quantum computations in near-term implementations. The stabilization of an optimal quantum state of a quantum computer is a challenge, since it requires stable quantum evolutions via a precise calibration of the unitaries. Here, we propose a method for the stabilization of an optimal quantum state of a quantum computer through an arbitrary number of running sequences. The optimal state of the quantum computer is set to maximize an objective function of an arbitrary problem fed into the quantum computer. We also propose a procedure to classify the stabilized quantum states of the quantum computer into stability classes. The results are convenient for gate-model quantum computations and near-term quantum computers.

Nonlocal implementation of multi-qubit controlled unitary quantum gates with quantum channel

Engin Şahin, İhsan Yılmaz

Quantum computers are very efficient in terms of speed and security. Decoherence and architectural complexity restrict the control of sensitive quantum information as the number of qubits in a quantum computer increases. Therefore, it is more convenient to make a device with multiple quantum processors with small number of qubits instead of making a device with a large number of qubits quantum processors. The implementation of controlled unitary gates is a problem in such nonlocal systems. The methods in the literature for this problem use entangled qubit pairs, classical communication channels and classical bits. The existing methods perform some unitary operations on the target state for reconstruction after sending information through classical communication channels and applying quantum measurements on control states. In this study, a generalized method for nonlocal implementation of multi-qubit controlled unitary quantum gates with quantum channel is proposed. The proposed method can implement any controlled gate on the control and target qubits that are far from each other in terms of location. The method does not require classical channels and classical bits, any extra unitary operation for reconstruction. The proposed method is both more secure and uses less resources for operations than the other hybrid methods in the literature. Comparisons with existing studies are given in terms of required entangled qubit pairs, classical channels and bits, extra unitary operations for reconstruction the target state, and the advantages of the proposed method are revealed.

Optimizing Hamiltonian control using quantum machine learning method

Teng Yi, Jie Wang, Fufang Xu

Machine learning brings the promise of deriving meaning from different data, which is widely used for medicine and computer science. Quantum computing exploits the phenomena of quantum states to realize parallel computing, which believed to be significantly faster than classical computers. Quantum machine learning is the integration of quantum algorithms within machine learning programs, thereby improving classical machine learning techniques. Quantum control such as gate decomposition and Hamiltonian control is an essential problem to solve in quantum dynamics. Here we present a hybrid quantum machine learning model to conduct quantum control optimization. Firstly, according to Bloch theorem, any single-qubit unitary gate can be specified by three vector rotations. We find the optimal decomposition of the given gate, which is the optimal control sequence. Secondly, we build a hybrid quantum-classical neural networks to solve gate decomposition problem utilizing supervised learning. And we prepare the training data and train the hybrid supervised model. Finally, we demonstrate the quantum control optimization results in hybrid model on quantum gates.

The past decade has witnessed significant advancements in quantum hardware, encompassing improvements in speed, qubit quantity, and quantum volume-a metric defining the maximum size of a quantum circuit effectively implementable on near-term quantum devices. This progress has led to a surge in Quantum Machine Learning (QML) applications on real hardware, aiming to achieve quantum advantage over classical approaches. This survey focuses on selected supervised and unsupervised learning applications executed on quantum hardware, specifically tailored for real-world scenarios. The exploration includes a thorough analysis of current QML implementation limitations on quantum hardware, covering techniques like encoding, ansatz structure, error mitigation, and gradient methods to address these challenges. Furthermore, the survey evaluates the performance of QML implementations in comparison to classical counterparts. In conclusion, we discuss existing bottlenecks related to applying QML on real quantum devices and propose potential solutions to overcome these challenges in the future.
