Tackling Heterogeneity in Quantum Federated Learning: An Integrated Sporadic-Personalized Approach

  • 采用间歇式学习应对不同设备的量子噪声差异。
  • 通过模型正则化实现个性化训练,缓解非独立同分布数据影响。
  • 理论分析与仿真表明,显著提升收敛性与训练效果。

量子联邦学习(QFL)结合量子计算与联邦学习,可在分布式量子设备上高效处理复杂数据并保障量子网络中的数据隐私。然而,现有框架因两大固有异质性而难以达到最优训练性能:一是量子噪声异质性,即不同设备受不同程度噪声干扰,源于设备质量差异和量子退相干敏感度;二是数据分布异质性,参与设备的数据天然非独立同分布(non-IID)。为此,我们提出一种集成的间歇-个性化方法SPQFL,统一处理上述两类异质性。其核心为:(1)引入间歇学习机制以应对量子噪声差异;(2)通过模型正则化实现个性化学习,缓解本地训练中非IID数据导致的过拟合,从而提升全局模型收敛性。我们对SPQFL进行了严格的收敛性分析,理论表明算法上界受量子设备数量及量子噪声测量次数共同影响。在真实数据集上的大量仿真结果表明,相比当前最优方法,SPQFL在训练性能与收敛稳定性方面均有显著提升。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Quantum federated learning (QFL) emerges as a powerful technique that combines quantum computing with federated learning to efficiently process complex data across distributed quantum devices while ensuring data privacy in quantum networks. Despite recent research efforts, existing QFL frameworks struggle to achieve optimal model training performance primarily due to inherent heterogeneity in terms of (i) quantum noise where current quantum devices are subject to varying levels of noise due to varying device quality and susceptibility to quantum decoherence, and (ii) heterogeneous data distributions where data across participating quantum devices are naturally non-independent and identically distributed (non-IID). To address these challenges, we propose a novel integrated sporadic-personalized approach called SPQFL that simultaneously handles quantum noise and data heterogeneity in a single QFL framework. It is featured in two key aspects: (i) for quantum noise heterogeneity, we introduce a notion of sporadic learning to tackle quantum noise heterogeneity across quantum devices, and (ii) for quantum data heterogeneity, we implement personalized learning through model regularization to mitigate overfitting during local training on non-IID quantum data distributions, thereby enhancing the convergence of the global model. Moreover, we conduct a rigorous convergence analysis for the proposed SPQFL framework, with both sporadic and personalized learning considerations. Theoretical findings reveal that the upper bound of the SPQFL algorithm is strongly influenced by both the number of quantum devices and the number of quantum noise measurements. Extensive simulation results in real-world datasets also illustrate that the proposed SPQFL approach yields significant improvements in terms of training performance and convergence stability compared to the state-of-the-art methods.
