This article describes hybrid convolutional neural network that uses one quantum circuit for image classification. The different configurations of the hybrid neural network with the quantum circuit are considered. Several different quantum circuits with different number of qubits are compared. These hybrid neural network configurations are evaluated on MNIST and MNIST Fashion datasets, which is radically different from MNIST dataset. Performance of hybrid neural network is compared for multiclass classification on MNIST and MNIST Fashion datasets for 4, 6, 8, 10 classes using quantum circuits with 2, 3, 4 qubits. The results of the experiments indicate the feasibility of using hybrid neural networks for multiclass classification.

Hybrid Classic-Quantum Neural Networks for Image Classification

Yevhenii Trochun, Sergii Stirenko, Oleksandr Rokovyi +3 more

In the last decade, quantum computing (QC) has shown its great potential in advancing research in many fields. Here we introduce a new quantum-classical neural network, by combining quantum computing and classical computing in a hybrid neural network (HNN) that can be trained to perform image classification. The HNN on the basis of the classic convolutional neural network (CNN) with quantum circuit is considered for image classification problem. The various configurations of HNN were investigated where QC with different number of qubits were used and compared. The HNN configurations were trained, validated, and tested on the more complex CIFAR10 and CIFAR100 datasets in addition to our previous attempts on the simpler MNIST, notMNIST, MNIST Fashion datasets. Performance of HNN was compared for multiclass classification on these datasets for different number of classes (from 2 to 10) using QCs with correspondent number of qubits (from 2 to 4). The metrics measured (accuracy and loss) during these experiments support our assumption about feasibility of HNN application for multiclass classification problems.

This article describes a deep hybrid convolutional neural network (HNN) that uses one quantum device for binary image classification. The quantum device is a Ry quantum circuit with one qubit. This HNN configuration was evaluated on a practical problem - detection of damaged buildings on pictures taken from a satellite in addition to our previous attempts on the simple MNIST, MNIST Fashion and more sophisticated CIFAR10 and CIFAR100 datasets. The performance of HNN was compared with the reference classical model and two pretrained models: VGG-15 and RESNET-50. The measured metrics (accuracy and loss) during these experiments showed some drawbacks compared with the reference model but still support our assumption about the feasibility of HNN application for multiclass classification problems.
