本研究评估了量子卷积神经网络(QCNNs)在模拟伽马暴(GRBs)探测数据中的信号识别能力,针对下一代甚高能伽马射线天文台——切伦科夫望远镜阵列观测站(CTAO)的模拟光变曲线数据。通过Qiskit框架实现混合量子-经典机器学习方法,使用量子模拟器训练多个QCNN架构,对比了数据重载与振幅编码等不同编码方式。结果显示,QCNN在多数情况下准确率超过90%,可媲美经典卷积神经网络(CNN),且参数量更少,具备更高的计算资源效率。基准测试表明,增加量子比特数和采用先进编码方式普遍提升精度,但会增加复杂度。模型在时序数据上表现稳健,能够高精度识别出类似伽马暴的信号。该工作是将QCNN应用于天体物理领域的开创性尝试,为未来充分挖掘其潜力提供了重要基础。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This study evaluates the use of Quantum Convolutional Neural Networks (QCNNs) for identifying signals resembling Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) within simulated astrophysical datasets in the form of light curves. The task addressed here focuses on distinguishing GRB-like signals from background noise in simulated Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) data, the next-generation astrophysical observatory for very high-energy gamma-ray science. QCNNs, a quantum counterpart of classical Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), leverage quantum principles to process and analyze high-dimensional data efficiently. We implemented a hybrid quantum-classical machine learning technique using the Qiskit framework, with the QCNNs trained on a quantum simulator. Several QCNN architectures were tested, employing different encoding methods such as Data Reuploading and Amplitude encoding. Key findings include that QCNNs achieved accuracy comparable to classical CNNs, often surpassing 90\%, while using fewer parameters, potentially leading to more efficient models in terms of computational resources. A benchmark study further examined how hyperparameters like the number of qubits and encoding methods affected performance, with more qubits and advanced encoding methods generally enhancing accuracy but increasing complexity. QCNNs showed robust performance on time-series datasets, successfully detecting GRB signals with high precision. The research is a pioneering effort in applying QCNNs to astrophysics, offering insights into their potential and limitations. This work sets the stage for future investigations to fully realize the advantages of QCNNs in astrophysical data analysis.
