Abstract

The development of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) revolutionized the creation of synthetic data and signified the start of a revolutionary age in artificial intelligence. GANs have been used over the years in a variety of domains, including video production, natural language processing, and image synthesis. However, issues with classical GANs include computational efficiency, limited scalability for high-dimensional data and significant processing costs. Quantum GANs (QGANs) have been developed to overcome these drawbacks by integrating adversarial training with the concepts of quantum computing. In order to improve efficiency and stability, QGANs make use of quantum superposition and entanglement. This makes them an effective choice for producing high-quality synthetic data. By using noisy intermediate scale quantum (NISQ) devices for effective, noise-tolerant computations, quantum GANs (QGANs) allow for high-dimensional data synthesis using fewer resources than traditional techniques. Among their many uses, QGANs are particularly good at picture synthesis, making use of quantum circuits to produce realistic images quickly. This research studies the architecture of QGANs, particularly quantum circuit designs, implementation strategies for QGANs, and a comparison of several performance metrics.

Quantum Generative Adversarial Networks for Synthetic Data Generation

Jincheng Zhang

This paper investigates the application of Quantum Generative Adversarial Networks (QGANs) for the generation of synthetic data. Traditional Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) often face challenges in producing high-quality synthetic data, especially when dealing with complex data distributions. We propose a novel framework utilizing quantum circuits to construct both the generator and discriminator within a QGAN architecture. The core innovation lies in harnessing quantum superposition and interference during the adversarial training process to potentially improve the realism and diversity of the generated synthetic data. Our approach introduces a theoretical foundation and a conceptual design for QGANs, paving the way for future research and development in this emerging field. The primary goal is to demonstrate the potential benefits of incorporating quantum mechanical principles into the GAN framework, leading to enhanced synthetic data generation capabilities. The performance of a QGAN is expected to be superior to a classical GAN due to the unique properties of quantum systems.

Survey of Quantum Generative Adversarial Networks (QGAN) to Generate Images

Mohammadsaleh Pajuhanfard, Rasoul Kiani, Victor S. Sheng

Quantum Generative Adversarial Networks (QGANs) represent a useful development in quantum machine learning, using the particular properties of quantum mechanics to solve the challenges of data analysis and modeling. This paper brings up a general analysis of five QGAN architectures, focusing on their evolution, strengths, weaknesses, and limitations in noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices. Primary methods like Entangling Quantum GAN (EQ-GAN) and Quantum state fidelity (QuGAN) concentrate on stability, convergence, and robust performance on small-scale datasets such as 2 × 2 grayscale images. Intermediate models such as Image Quantum GAN (IQGAN) and Experimental Quantum GAN (EXQGAN) provide new ideas like trainable encoders and patch-based sub-generators that are scalable to 8 × 8 datasets with increasing noise resilience. The most advanced method is Parameterized Quantum Wasserstein GAN (PQWGAN), which uses a hybrid quantum-classical structure to obtain high-resolution image processing for 28 × 28 grayscale datasets while trying to maintain parameter efficiency. This study explores, analyzes, and summarizes critical problems of QGANs, including accuracy, convergence, parameter efficiency, image quality, performance metrics, and training stability under noisy conditions. In addition, developing QGANs can generate and train parameters in quantum approximation optimization algorithms. One of the useful applications of QGAN is generating medical datasets that can generate medical images from limited datasets to train specific medical models for the recognition of diseases.

Quantum-Inspired Generative Adversarial Networks (QGANs)

Jincheng Zhang

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have demonstrated remarkable success in generating realistic data across various domains. However, traditional GANs often struggle with mode collapse, difficulty in capturing complex data distributions, and challenges in generating high-dimensional data effectively. This paper proposes Quantum-Inspired Generative Adversarial Networks (QGANs), a novel approach that incorporates principles of quantum mechanics – specifically superposition and interference – into the GAN architecture. QGANs utilize quantum circuits to generate latent vectors in a superposition state, enabling richer sampling and enhanced diversity in the generated data. Interference patterns are then strategically applied to refine the generated output, leading to improved quality and complexity. We argue that this direct application of quantum concepts offers a promising avenue for overcoming the limitations of classical GANs and achieving superior generative performance. This work presents a foundational framework for QGANs, outlining the core mechanisms and potential benefits, and lays the groundwork for future research in this area.

IQGAN: Robust Quantum Generative Adversarial Network for Image Synthesis On NISQ Devices

Cheng Chu, Grant Skipper, Martin Swany A +1 more

In this work, we propose IQGAN, a quantum Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) framework for multiqubit image synthesis that can be efficiently implemented on Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices. We investigate the reasons for the inferior generative performance of current quantum GANs in our preliminary study and conclude that an adjustable input encoder is the key to ensuring high-quality data synthesis. We then propose the IQGAN architecture featuring a trainable multiqubit quantum encoder that effectively embeds classical data into quantum states. Furthermore, we propose a compact quantum generator that significantly reduces the design cost and circuit depth on NISQ devices. Experimental results on both IBM quantum processors and quantum simulators demonstrated that IQGAN outperforms state-of-the-art quantum GANs in qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the generated samples, model convergence, and quantum computing cost.
