Experimentally Realizable Continuous-variable Quantum Neural Networks

Continuous-variable (CV) quantum computing has shown great potential for building neural network models. These neural networks can have different levels of quantum-classical hybridization depending on the complexity of the problem. Previous work on CV neural network protocols required the implementation of non-Gaussian operators in the network. These operators were used to introduce non-linearity, an essential feature of neural networks. However, these protocols are hard to execute experimentally. We built a CV hybrid quantum-classical neural network protocol that can be realized experimentally with current photonic quantum hardware. Our protocol uses Gaussian gates only with the addition of ancillary qumodes. We implemented non-linearity through repeat-until-success measurements on ancillary qumodes. To test our neural network, we studied canonical machine learning and quantum computer problems in a supervised learning setting -- state preparation, curve fitting, and classification problems. We achieved high fidelity in state preparation of single-photon (99.9%), cat (99.8%), and Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (93.9%) states, a well-fitted curve in the presence of noise at a cost of less than 1%, and more than 95% accuracy in classification problems. These results bode well for real-world applications of CV quantum neural networks.

Continuous-Variable Deep Quantum Neural Networks for Flexible Learning of Structured Classical Information

Jasvith Raj Basani, Aranya Bhattacherjee

Quantum computation using optical modes has been well-established in its ability to construct deep neural networks. These networks have been shown to be flexible both architecturally as well as in terms of the type of data being processed. We leverage this property of the Continuous-Variable (CV) model to construct stacked single mode networks that are shown to learn structured classical information, while placing no restrictions on the size of the network, and at the same time maintaining its complexity. The hallmark of the CV model is its ability to forge non-linear functions using a set of gates that allows it to remain completely unitary. The proposed model exemplifies that the appropriate photonic hardware can be integrated with present day optical communication systems to meet our information processing requirements. In this paper, using the Strawberry Fields software library on the MNIST dataset of hand-written digits, we demonstrate the adaptability of the network to learn classical information in a multitude of machine learning tasks to very large fidelities.

Experimentally realizable continuous-variable quantum neural networks

Shikha Bangar, Leanto Sunny, Kübra Yeter Aydeniz +1 more

The authors propose a continuous-variable quantum-classical neural network protocol that could be potentially realized in current photonic experiments. Their protocol only uses Gaussian operations, and a nonlinear operation is obtained through repeat-until-success measurements on ancillary qumodes. They applied their method to simulate quantum machine learning and computing problems.
