Abstract

Embedding of n-dimensional data in quantum space is an essential component in quantum computing realm. This research area is quite challenging with limited computational resources and complex quantum architecture. To overcome these problems, quantum approaches have been integrated with classical neural network. This hybrid model encodes the features using both angle encoding and amplitude encoding over quantum hilbert space, which is then processed through a Variational Quantum Circuit (VQC). These embedded features are fed to the classical neural network that enhances the performance of the traditional methods. A synthetic barcode and stripes (BAS) dataset was created for the verification of the proposed model. The results show that classical optimization methods, specifically gradient descent with momentum, achieve an accuracy of 82.38% for 4×4 data which is a significant improvement over existing researches that are limited to lower-dimensional data embedding.

This research explores the integration of quantum computing with classical machine learning to enhance data classification tasks using Quantum Neural Networks (QNN) and Parameterized Quantum Circuits (PQC). The hybrid approach leverages the advantages of both quantum and classical systems to improve the efficiency and accuracy of data processing. In this model, data is encoded into qubits using amplitude encoding, representing input vectors as amplitudes of quantum states. The QNN is initialized by placing the qubits in superposition using Hadamard gates, followed by data encoding with parameterized rotational gates that map classical data to quantum states using rotation angles. PQC plays a central role by applying layers of parameterized quantum operations to process data in the quantum space. These parameters are optimized during the training process, where a quadratic loss function minimizes the error between the predicted quantum states and the true class labels using gradient descent. Experiments conducted on the MNIST dataset show that the hybrid the hybrid quantum-classical neural network (QCNN) with PQC achieves a classification accuracy of over 95%, highlighting its potential in machine learning applications. The results demonstrate that integrating quantum computing with classical machine learning enhances performance in complex data analysis tasks due to the exponential growth of quantum state space and the parallelism of quantum systems, making hybrid models promising for computer vision and classification tasks.

Enhancing the performance of variational quantum classifiers with hybrid autoencoders

Abstract Variational quantum circuits (VQC) lie at the forefront of quantum machine learning research. Still, the use of quantum networks for real data processing remains challenging as the number of available qubits cannot accommodate a large dimensionality of data—if the usual angle encoding scenario is used. To achieve dimensionality reduction, Principal Component Analysis is routinely applied as a pre-processing method before the embedding of the classical features on qubits. In this work, we propose an alternative method which reduces the dimensionality of a given dataset by taking into account the specific quantum embedding that comes after. This method aspires to make quantum machine learning with VQCs more versatile and effective on datasets of high dimension. At a second step, we propose a quantum-inspired classical autoencoder model which can be used to encode information in low latent spaces. The power of our proposed models is exhibited via numerical tests. We show that our targeted dimensionality reduction method considerably boosts VQC’s performance, and we also identify cases for which the second model outperforms classical autoencoders in terms of reconstruction loss.

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.

Quantum computing and deep learning have been integrated as a revolutionary solution to address the classical limitations of performance, scalability and convergence. This paper has proposed a Robust Quantum-Enhanced Hybrid Approach (QEHA) which integrates quantum feature embedding and classical deep neural networks to increase the learning speed, enhance the stability and improve the model robustness. The architecture uses feature Encoding The architecture uses angle encoding and quantum kernels to project input data into a high-dimensional Hilbert space, in between CNNTransformer layers. Quantum Natural Gradient Descent (QNGD) is used to achieve optimization across hybrid layers so that it is efficient in updating parameters. The experimental results prove that the proposed QEHA has an average accuracy of 97.85, which is higher than the CNN-Transformer baseline (94.12) and PQC-only model (91.54). In addition, the hybrid model demonstrates a convergence time decrease of 32% and energy efficiency increase of 26% with a robustness ratio of more than 0.93 in noisy quantum environments. These findings validate the excellence of the offered hybrid structure in the context of accuracy, speed and reliability. The article also finds that quantum-classical connections are scalable and robust AI systems that can be deployed on edge-based quantum collaborative systems, where data dimensionality and energy limits are still significant issues.

Variational Quantum Neural Networks (VQNNS) in Image Classification

Meghashrita Das, Tirupati Bolisetti

Quantum machine learning has established as an interdisciplinary field to overcome limitations of classical machine learning and neural networks. This is a field of research which can prove that quantum computers are able to solve problems with complex correlations between inputs that can be hard for classical computers. This suggests that learning models made on quantum computers may be more powerful for applications, potentially faster computation and better generalization on less data. The objective of this paper is to investigate how training of quantum neural network (QNNs) can be done using quantum optimization algorithms for improving the performance and time complexity of QNNs. A classical neural network can be partially quantized to create a hybrid quantum-classical neural network which is used mainly in classification and image recognition. In this paper, a QNN structure is made where a variational parameterized circuit is incorporated as an input layer named as Variational Quantum Neural Network (VQNNs). We encode the cost function of QNNs onto relative phases of a superposition state in the Hilbert space of the network parameters. The parameters are tuned with an iterative quantum approximate optimisation (QAOA) mixer and problem hamiltonians. VQNNs is experimented with MNIST digit recognition (less complex) and crack image classification datasets (more complex) which converges the computation in lesser time than QNN with decent training accuracy.

LHQNN: sequential and non-sequential layered hybrid quantum neural networks for image classification

Monika Kabir, Mohammed Golam Kaosar, Hamid Laga +1 more

Abstract Quantum neural networks have emerged as a promising approach to solving complex problems across various domains, especially when integrated with classical methods. Several hybrid quantum-classical architectures have been developed to leverage the potential of quantum advantages for image classification tasks. The design of the quantum layer plays an important role in exploiting quantum properties such as superposition and entanglement. In this research, we propose hybrid quantum neural networks with multiple quantum layers, utilizing sequential circuits for enhanced feature representation through structured depth, and non-sequential circuits to reduce complexity and improve performance. Our experimental results demonstrate that stacking multiple layers in the quantum circuit enhances performance significantly. Furthermore, the results indicate that the optimal range of 6–10 qubits achieves the best trade-off between accuracy and computational efficiency. The results also show that amplitude embedding consistently outperformed angle embedding for image classification tasks. Notably, our proposed hybrid sequential model with amplitude embedding outperforms traditional convolutional neural networks on MNIST and Fashion-MNIST datasets, while requiring fewer parameters. These findings provide valuable insights for advancing quantum machine learning in real-world applications.
