本文研究了一种新型量子卷积神经网络(QCNN)在修改版美国国家标准与技术研究院(MNIST)数据集上的二分类应用。受先前QCNN与经典卷积神经网络启发,采用分层分区策略构建可高效经典模拟的QCNN电路。原始图像被划分,每个子区域独立编码为量子态;随后分层合并,每次使处理进程数减半,同时保留跨区域信息。重复此过程直至仅剩一个进程,最终压缩至单个量子比特进行测量。该方法使多个进程并行模拟大型QCNN程序,避免随量子比特数指数增长的硬件需求。实验中成功训练128量子比特模型,经典超算无法实现。同时,在小规模量子比特下对比了有无分区的模型性能,结果表明该分块架构未降低准确率,甚至有时提升,可能因减少梯度消失(Barren plateaus)现象所致。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

This work presents a study of an implementation of a novel Quantum Convolutional Neural Network (QCNN) for binary classification of images from the Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology (MNIST) dataset. Using a novel architecture inspired by previous QCNN and classical convolutional neural network (CNN) implementations, we use a hierarchical partitioning approach to implement a QCNN circuit that can be approximated and simulated efficiently on a classical machine for a large problem. First, the original image is partitioned such that each process handles a smaller portion of the image, which is encoded into independent states. Then, these partitions merge and combine, resulting in states that contain information from both partitions while halving the number of processes. After repeating this until one process remains, we reduce the dimensionality of the state until a single qubit remains for measurement. Using this approach, we can use multiple processes in parallel to simulate a large QCNN program without the need for exponentially growing hardware requirements as the number of qubits increases. In our work, we use this scheme to train a 128-qubit model, which is impossible to run on any classical supercomputer without the novel architecture. We also explore the impact of this new model architecture on prediction accuracy by training it to perform binary classification on the MNIST dataset with a small number of qubits, and comparing it to a model without partitioning. Our initial findings show that partitioning images into smaller sub-images with this architecture does not degrade the model's performance and sometimes even improves it, likely because it reduces the Barren plateaus issue in the partitioning process.
