Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) excel at learning from graph-structured data but are limited to modeling pairwise interactions, insufficient for capturing higher-order relationships present in many real-world systems. Topological Deep Learning (TDL) has allowed for systematic modeling of hierarchical higher-order interactions by relying on combinatorial topological spaces such as simplicial complexes. In parallel, Quantum Neural Networks (QNNs) have been introduced to leverage quantum mechanics for enhanced computational and learning power. In this work, we present the first Quantum Topological Deep Learning Model: Quantum Simplicial Networks (QSNs), being QNNs operating on simplicial complexes. QSNs are a stack of Quantum Simplicial Layers, which are inspired by the Ising model to encode higher-order structures into quantum states. Experiments on synthetic classification tasks show that QSNs can outperform classical simplicial TDL models in accuracy and efficiency, demonstrating the potential of combining quantum computing with TDL for processing data on combinatorial topological spaces.
This paper presents a novel approach to designing and implementing quantum neural networks (QNNs) capable of adapting their topological structures through a learning process. The core idea is to leverage reinforcement learning (RL) to guide the QNN's evolution, enabling it to dynamically optimize its architecture for specific tasks. Traditional QNNs typically employ fixed, pre-defined topologies, limiting their flexibility and potential performance. This work introduces a framework where the QNN autonomously learns and adjusts its topology, representing a significant advancement in QNN development. We detail the theoretical foundations, the RL algorithm employed, and the overall learning process. The system's ability to adapt to varying input data and computational demands is demonstrated, showcasing the potential of self-organizing QNNs for complex problems. The system's performance is evaluated using synthetic benchmarks, demonstrating the efficacy of the adaptive topological structure learning method. This research contributes to the burgeoning field of adaptive quantum computing, paving the way for more robust and efficient QNN designs. ---
