Abstract

Quantum computing and deep learning methods hold great promise to open up a new era of computing and have been receiving significant attention recently. This paper presents quantum computing (QC) based deep learning methods for fault diagnosis that are capable of overcoming the computational challenges faced by conventional techniques performed on classical computers. The shortcomings of such classical data-driven techniques are addressed by the proposed QC-based fault diagnosis model. A quantum computing assisted generative training process followed by supervised discriminative training is used to train this model. The applicability of proposed model and methods is demonstrated by applying them to process monitoring of Tennessee Eastman (TE) process. The proposed QC-based deep learning approach enjoys superior performance with an average fault diagnosis rate of 80% and tremendously low false alarm rates for the TE process.

Solving industrial fault diagnosis problems with quantum computers

Alexander Diedrich, Stefan Windmann, Oliver Niggemann

Abstract In this article, we investigate in how far quantum computers can be leveraged to solve NP-complete fault diagnosis problems within the area of industrial cyber-physical systems. Therefore, two approaches are proposed which exploit quantum computing to solve diagnosis problems: The first method employs Grover’s algorithm, and the second is based on the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm. To show the industrial application, we present an integrated approach to learn the diagnosis model from process data, check whether the model is suitable, and use it for diagnosis. The result is a method for quantum industrial fault diagnosis. For this approach, the diagnostic capabilities and the runtime have been evaluated on an IBM Falcon processor using three publicly available benchmarks from the process industry. Further, the scaling between quantum computers and classical PCs has been analyzed.

Brain Tumour Detection Using Quantum Convolutional Neural Networks (QCNN)

Sivaraju Venkata Sai Karthik, K Snehanvitha, Addanki Sai Kumar +3 more

Brain tumor detection is a vital and challenging task in medical diagnosis, requiring highly precise and efficient methods to improve patient treatment outcomes. Traditional approaches rely on classical machine learning and deep learning techniques, which, while effective to a degree, often struggle with capturing the complex and high-dimensional patterns present in medical imaging data. A significant limitation of these conventional methods is their inability to process and analyze intricate features efficiently, which can impact diagnostic accuracy. To address these challenges, this work proposes a novel Quantum Convolutional Neural Network (QCNN) framework that combines quantum computing principles, via quantum circuits, with classical machine learning architectures implemented through tools like PyTorch and PennyLane. This hybrid approach enhances feature extraction and classification capabilities, leading to superior performance. Experimental results demonstrate that the QCNN model achieves an improved accuracy of 90 percent on the test dataset, surpassing traditional methods and showing promise for advancing brain tumor detection technology. This improvement is supported by consistent decreases in training and validation loss during model training, highlighting the robustness and efficacy of the quantum-enhanced model.
