Quantum neural networks for machine learning applied to the tracking and control of the dynamics of stochastic transmission lines

Abstract
In most of the machine learning problems based on classical neural networks, we try to identify a nonlinear system which may or may not have memory by adapting the weights of the neural network so that for the same input process applied to the system as well as to the neural network, the network output matches that of the true system output in the mean square sense or in the sense of some other metric on the space of output processes. If the network is feed forward, then this model can be used to simulate a memory-less nonlinear system. If however the actual system has memory and is described by a stochastic difference equation for its state followed by an output equation that is a function of the state, then we can use a recurrent neural network (RNN) whose state dynamics are described by a nonlinear difference equation involving weights as parameters and the state and weights of the RNN can be estimated from noisy measurements of the actual system output by means of the extended Kalman filter. If however, we are interested in estimating the joint probability density of a vector valued process like the transmission line current and voltage at different points along the line at all times, then a classical neural network will not work. This is because a probability density has several constraints like non-negativity and integrability to unity, and so on, and a classical neural network does not take care of these constraints.
