A Tutorial on Quantum Computing and Deep Learning with Quantum Deep Neural Networks

Saeed Mohsen, Gamal Elnashar, Mohamed H. Abdel-Aziz

Quantum Computing (QC) technology and Deep Learning (DL) science have garnered significant attention for their potential to revolutionize computation. This paper introduces the basic concepts and terminologies of QC and DL to provide an understanding of these fields. In the context of QC, we explain key concepts such as qubits, quantum superposition (QS), quantum gates (QG), quantum measurement (QM), quantum circuits, quantum algorithms (QA), and different quantum computing applications. Regarding the DL, we present also the main concepts about various types of learning, DL models, hyperparameters of DL models, and DL applications. Also, this paper highlights the main differences between quantum deep learning (QDL) and classical deep learning (CDL). Additionally, we describe the required sequential steps to construct a quantum deep neural network (QDNN) model. This paper presents a valuable reference for beginners and researchers to a quick understanding of QC and DL and seeking to know about the latest developments in these rapidly advancing fields.

Intuit: Explain Quantum Computing Concepts via AR-based Analogy

Manusha Karunathilaka, Shaolun Ruan, Lin-Ping Yuan +5 more

Quantum computing has shown great potential to revolutionize traditional computing and can provide an exponential speedup for a wide range of possible applications, attracting various stakeholders. However, understanding fundamental quantum computing concepts remains a significant challenge for novices because of their abstract and counterintuitive nature. Thus, we propose an analogy-based characterization framework to construct the mental mapping between quantum computing concepts and daily objects, informed by in-depth expert interviews and a literature review, covering key quantum concepts and characteristics like number of qubits, output state duality, quantum concept type, and probability quantification. Then, we developed an AR-based prototype system, Intuit, using situated analytics to explain quantum concepts through daily objects and phenomena (e.g., rotating coins, paper cutters). We thoroughly evaluated our approach through in-depth user and expert interviews. The Results demonstrate the effectiveness and usability of Intuit in helping learners understand abstract concepts in an intuitive and engaging manner.

QSoftCore: A Conceptual Foundation for Quantum Software Engineering

Tao Yue, Yuechen Li, Man Zhang

Quantum software engineering (QSE) requires understanding application requirements, quantum programs and algorithms, quantum computation paradigms, executions, and deployment. However, relevant quantum computing (QC) concepts are often defined across physical, mathematical, and paradigm-specific levels of abstraction, making it difficult for the QSE community and hence proposed methods to refer to them consistently. To this end, we present QSoftCore, a conceptual model that reorganizes established QC concepts from a software engineering perspective and connects quantum applications, computational problems, algorithms, configurations, programs, and paradigm-specific computation specifications with state evolution, execution results, and backends. Our assessment against QSE literature across key software engineering activities indicates that QSoftCore provides shared QC referents for quantum computations, executions, deployment configurations, backends, and measurement evidence across the QSE lifecycle.
