Abstract

A binary classifier of financial data is demonstrated for different kinds of Figure classify problems. The scheme is based on quantum photonic chip, and we directly trained the parameter of Mach Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) instead of interpreting the combination of MZI as quantum gates.

A Quantum Photonic Chip for Binary Classification

Hsiao-Chung Lin, Hui Zhang, Hong Nian Cai +2 more

On the silicon photonic chip, we apply Mach Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) and optical network to manipulate the phase difference and amplitude distribution of the input light. The two or three-dimensional input data is encoded in the light amplitude distribution and the genetic algorithm is applied to update the angle parameters of the MZIs to improve the classification result.

Design of a photonic unitary neural network based on MZI arrays

Ye Zhang, Ruiting Wang, Yejin Zhang +5 more

In recent years, optical neural networks have attracted widespread attention, due to their advantages of high speed, high parallelism, high bandwidth, and low power consumption. Photonic unitary neural network is a kind of neural networks that utilize the principles of unitary matrices and photonics to perform computations. In this paper, we design a photonic unitary neural network based on Mach–Zehnder interferometer arrays. The results show that the network has a good performance on both triangular and circular binary classification datasets, where most of the data points are correctly classified. The accuracies achieve 97% and 95% for triangular and circular datasets, with the loss function values of 0.023 and 0.046, respectively.

Analysis of control and sensing interfaces in a photonic integrated chip solution for quantum computing

Luca Gemma, Martino Bernard, Mher Ghulinyan +1 more

Interest in quantum computing is rapidly growing in the scientific community as such technology could be the key to enable intensive use of machine learning and big data algorithms. Quantum computers can be conceived from basic photonic elements, such as Mach-Zehnder interferometers (MZI), but they still need control mechanisms and sensing elements from traditional VLSI technology. In this study, we present an ongoing study on a potential architecture for these basic photonic circuits. We realized two Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) test structures embedding metallic thermistors as phase shifters and silicon photodiodes as output detectors. We present a complete characterization of the phase shifter elements for an effective on-chip PIC interaction. To induce a consistent phase shift still retaining coherence of light, we act on the phase-shifters by means of a closed-loop control. By controlling through Pulse-Width Modulation the phase shifters, we drive the path of photons accurately in the PIC, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed configuration for the management of a photonic chip.

Binary classification of single qubits using quantum machine learning method

Teng Yi, Jie Wang, Fufang Xu

Abstract Machine learning can make predictions on unseen data by extracting information and constructing algorithms and statistical models from the training data, which is highly desirable for speech recognition and computer vision. Quantum computing harnesses the phenomena of quantum mechanics realizing parallel computing, which could solve certain computational problems, such as RSA encryption significantly faster than classical computers. Quantum machine learning is reasonable to enable machine learning faster than that of classical computers by utilizing quantum operations. Binary classification is a typical quantum machine learning task applied to single qubits. Here we present a binary classifier for regions. Firstly, we sample two sets of quantum data points located in the X-Z plane of the Bloch sphere randomly. Then we utilize a single parameterized rotation gate and measure the qubits along the Z axis. We train the hybrid model combined by quantum mdoel and classical Neutral network and regard the corss entropy the predictions of the classical Netural network and labels as the loss function. Based on the above, we present the results of the trained hybrid model to classify new quantum qubits.

Using quantum transport networks for classification: A path toward quantum computing for machine learning

Shmuel Lorber, Oded Zimron, Inbal L. Zak +2 more

Classification, the computational process of categorizing an input into preexisting classes, is now a cornerstone in modern computation in the era of machine learning. Here, we propose an approach for a quantum physical computer; a quantum classifier, based on quantum transport of particles in a trained quantum network. The classifier is based on sending a quantum particle into a network and measuring the exit point of the particle, which serves as a ``class'' and can be determined by changing the network parameters, differing from standard quantum computers as no gate operations are required to perform the computation. Using this scheme, we demonstrate three examples of classification. In the first, wave functions are classified according to their overlap with predetermined (random) groups. In the second, we classify wave functions according to their level of localization. Both examples use small training sets and achieve over 95% precision and recall. The third classification scheme is a ``real-world problem,'' concerning classification of catalytic aromatic aldehyde substrates according to their reactivity. Using experimental data, the quantum classifier reaches an average 86% classification accuracy. We show that the quantum classifier outperforms its classical counterpart for these examples and demonstrates clear advantage, especially in the regime of ``small data.'' These results pave the way for a classification scheme that can be implemented as an algorithm and potentially realized experimentally on quantum hardware.
