Abstract

This paper investigates the application of quantum computing to enhance the training of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) for data augmentation. Traditional GAN training is computationally intensive and often suffers from slow convergence and mode collapse. We propose leveraging quantum algorithms, specifically quantum gradient descent, to accelerate the training process and potentially improve the quality of synthetic data generated by GANs. The core claim is that quantum computing could significantly speed up and improve the training of GANs. The mechanism relies on using quantum algorithms for gradient calculations within the GAN architecture, leading to potentially faster convergence and the creation of more realistic synthetic data. This research explores the theoretical feasibility and potential benefits of this novel approach, paving the way for future investigations into hybrid quantum-classical GAN training methodologies.

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-Inspired Generative Adversarial Networks for Data Augmentation

Jincheng Zhang

This paper explores the integration of quantum-inspired concepts into Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) for enhanced data augmentation. Traditional GAN data augmentation often suffers from limited diversity and struggles to capture the full complexity of the underlying data distribution. We propose a novel architecture that leverages principles reminiscent of quantum superposition to expand the generator's exploration space, leading to more varied and potentially more effective augmented data. Specifically, we introduce a new layer within the GAN that operates in a superposition-like state, allowing it to draw from a broader set of possibilities during sample generation. This approach addresses the limitations of conventional data augmentation methods, aiming to improve the performance of GANs, particularly in scenarios with scarce training data. The core contribution is the theoretical framework and architectural design for incorporating quantum-inspired concepts within a GAN framework. We demonstrate the potential of this approach through a conceptual framework and detailed mathematical formulation.

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.
