Abstract

Quantum computing and generative adversarial networks are combined into a single architecture, quantum generative adversarial networks (QGANs), a powerful tool for data generation data generation and simulation data simulation . Applications of QGANs QGAN applications , for example, finance and healthcare healthcare (including cryptography cryptography ), are repeated in this chapter. In this chapter, we will see how a QGAN approach to problems can preserve data privacy and explore more challenging features of machine learning or optimization in solving complex problem sets. We will give readers an idea of the many different applications these machines have and where they may fall short – not surprisingly, the author looks at a broad range of industries.

Variations of Architectures and Applications of Quantum Generative Adversarial Networks

André Saimon Santos Sousa, Otto Menegasso Pires, Frank Acasiete +3 more

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are generative models that function as a minimax game, in which a generative network and a discriminative network compete against each other with the goal of creating data that convincingly resembles the real sample. With the advent of Quantum Computing and the development of Quantum Machine Learning (QML) models, Quantum Generative Adversarial Networks (QuGANs) have been increasingly studied due to the possible advantages this new type of architecture can offer, especially regarding performance improvements, scalability, and the exploration of new applications. In this context, this study's guiding question is: how were QuGANs developed between the years 2018 and 2025? To answer this question, the general objective of this work is to conduct a systematic literature review of QuGANs during the proposed period. Using a systematic literature review as the methodological basis, articles published and available on the online platforms Lens, Scopus, and Web of Science were selected, and the Rayyan tool was employed to identify duplicate works and those that did not specifically address QuGANs. As a result, a prevalence of hybrid models was observed, in which the developed architecture integrates quantum and classical characteristics in a complementary manner. Regarding the type of application, approaches involving theoretical foundations and image generation stand out as the most common. Other application areas are also explored (chemistry and pharmaceuticals, quantum error correction, high-energy physics, experimental implementation, medical applications, cloud computing, anomaly detection, telecommunications, biometrics, finance, physics and simulations, security and cryptography, software engineering, noise in QuGANs, and survey), demonstrating the broad potential of QuGANs across various research fields and industrial sectors.

This chapter aims to look at the relatively young research area called QGANs, which combines the cutting-edge technology of quantum computing quantum computing (QC) with traditional generative modeling to reveal its potential in various fields.

Quantum Generative Adversarial Networks (QGANs) for Data Augmentation

Jincheng Zhang

This paper investigates the application of Quantum Generative Adversarial Networks (QGANs) to data augmentation for machine learning. Traditional Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) rely on classical neural networks, while this research explores leveraging quantum circuits as generators within a QGAN architecture. The core idea is to train a quantum generator to produce synthetic data samples, supplementing existing datasets with novel instances. The discriminator remains a classical neural network, tasked with distinguishing between real and generated data. We present a theoretical framework for this approach, outlining the mathematical formulation and key components. Specifically, we introduce the notation (x, s_1, s_2, ..., s_K) to represent data samples, generator states, and relevant parameters. The objective function for the QGAN is defined as minimizing the Jensen-Shannon divergence between the real and generated data distributions. The effectiveness of this approach is discussed, highlighting potential advantages and challenges. This work contributes to the emerging field of quantum machine learning and offers a novel strategy for improving the performance of machine learning models, particularly in scenarios with limited training data.

Quantum Artificial Intelligence Prediction Using Generative Adversarial Networks

T. R. GaneshBabu, R. Praveena

There has been a significant change in QAI with the introduction of Quantum Generative Adversarial Networks (QGAN), Quantum Variational GAN (QVGAN), Quantum-enhanced GAN (QEGAN), and Quantum Wasserstein GAN (QWGAN). QGAN brings the power of GANs into the quantum world, paving the way for the creation of quantum data distributions that can then be used to facilitate both quantum data augmentation and synthesis. QVGAN optimizes the parameters of quantum circuits by drawing on variational concepts to improve quantum generative modeling. QEGAN utilizes quantum hardware to speed up adversarial training, which in turn speeds up the production of quantum data. Aligning the distribution of quantum data is QWGAN's main goal, since this helps quantum datasets converge. Collectively, these quantum GAN variations open new possibilities for QAI by facilitating the production, manipulation, and alignment of quantum data distributions. QGANs and variations can break through classical barriers and push forward quantum data-driven applications in fields as diverse as quantum chemistry, quantum machine learning, and quantum cryptography by harnessing the power of quantum computing. QGAN variants' quantum benefits highlight their importance in pushing the limits of quantum information processing.
