用量子费舍尔信息缓解量子模型学新任务时的遗忘问题。

Quantum continual learning aims to train quantum models on sequential tasks without losing previously learned knowledge. However, variational quantum classifiers (VQCs) are prone to catastrophic forgetting under nonstationary task distributions. We propose quantum elastic weight consolidation (QEWC), a quantum Fisher information (QFI)-informed regularization method for mitigating forgetting. Unlike conventional elastic weight consolidation based on classical Fisher information (CFI), which measures parameter importance through measurement-dependent output statistics, QEWC uses QFI to quantify the intrinsic sensitivity of the parameterized quantum state. This gives an information-geometric view in which important parameters are identified by the local response of the quantum state manifold. We evaluate QEWC on VQCs trained on sequential binary classification tasks, including classical image-classification and quantum phase-classification tasks. Simulations show that sequential training without regularization causes severe forgetting, while both CFI-based EWC and QFI-based QEWC improve retention of previous tasks. Mechanistic analyses further show that the two methods impose different regularization geometries: CFI acts selectively on measurement-sensitive directions, whereas QFI imposes a denser state-geometric constraint over parameter space. Under depolarizing noise, CFI values are strongly suppressed by degraded measurement statistics, while QFI preserves a more stable sensitivity structure of the noisy parameterized quantum state. These results establish QEWC as a physically motivated approach for studying and mitigating forgetting in quantum continual learning through quantum-state geometry.
