A Quantum Convolutional Neural Network for Image Classification

Yanxuan Lü, Qing Zhong Gao, Jinhu Lü +2 more

Artificial neural networks have achieved great success in many fields ranging from image recognition to video understanding. However, its high requirements for computing and memory resources have limited further development on processing big data with high dimensions. In recent years, advances in quantum computing show that building neural networks on quantum processors is a potential solution to this problem. In this paper, we propose a novel neural network model named Quantum Convolutional Neural Network (QCNN), aiming at utilizing the computing power of quantum systems to accelerate classical machine learning tasks. The designed QCNN is based on implementable quantum circuits and has a similar structure as classical convolutional neural networks. Numerical simulation results on the MNIST dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of our model.

Design and Implementation of Quantum Convolutional Neural Networks for Handwritten Character Classification

This paper presents a hybrid Quantum Convolutional Neural Network (QCNN) designed for handwritten character classification using the EMNIST dataset. The model combines quantum convolution and pooling circuits with classical neural network layers. Various ansatz and pooling strategies were explored, with the Conv10 and PoolG combination achieving the highest accuracy of 81.38 percent. Several quantum data encoding methods were tested, where angle encoding on the X-axis outperformed others. Additionally, optimization methods were compared, and the Adam optimizer showed the best performance in terms of convergence and stability. Although the model performs well overall, it encounters difficulties when distinguishing visually similar characters such as “0” and “0.” The results support the feasibility of applying hybrid QCNN architectures to image classification tasks and suggest future improvements in data representation and circuit design.

Quantum Convolutional Neural Network: A Hybrid Quantum-Classical Approach for Iris Dataset Classification

S. M. Yousuf Iqbal Tomal, Abdullah Al Shafin, Afrida Afaf +1 more

This paper presents a hybrid quantum-classical machine learning model for classification tasks, integrating a 4-qubit quantum circuit with a classical neural network. The quantum circuit is designed to encode the features of the Iris dataset using angle embedding and entangling gates, thereby capturing complex feature relationships that are difficult for classical models alone. The model, which we term a Quantum Convolutional Neural Network (QCNN), was trained over 20 epochs, achievinga perfect 100% accuracy on the Iris dataset test set on 16 epoch. Our results demonstrate the potential of quantum-enhanced models in supervised learning tasks, particularly in efficiently encoding and processing data using quantum resources. We detail the quantum circuit design, parameterizedgate selection, and the integration of the quantum layer with classical neural network components.This work contributes to the growing body of research on hybrid quantum-classical models and theirapplicability to real-world datasets.
