用几何方法提升量子联邦学习在噪声设备下的鲁棒性。

Quantum Federated Learning Based on Bures--Uhlmann Geometry for Heterogeneous Noisy Clients

  • 引入布雷斯度量和乌尔曼曲率,建模混合态参数不兼容性。
  • 动态降低不可靠客户端权重,使准确率在强噪声下仍稳定。
  • 理论证明收敛性与方差优势,适用于有噪声的异构量子设备。

量子联邦学习可在不共享原始数据的前提下,协同训练量子设备上的模型,但面临由噪声量子设备固有的数据与硬件异构性带来的挑战。利用量子几何张量是自然的解决方案,然而纯态方法和对角近似会忽略编码参数不相容性的相关性。为此,我们将参数空间几何扩展至噪声客户端实际准备的混合态。所得混合态几何张量的实部为布雷斯度量,衡量参数变化时物理态的演化速度;虚部为平均乌尔曼曲率,量化同时估计多个参数的不相容程度。据此,我们采用布雷斯度量作为局部预条件器,并利用平均乌尔曼曲率设计可实现精度聚合规则,动态降低不可靠客户端权重。此外,我们通过证明收敛定理与方差主导性命题,建立了理论保证。在囚禁离子量子模拟器上的实验表明,该方法在多种设备异构条件下保持高精度,优于标准联邦平均,后者在强噪声下性能显著下降。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Quantum federated learning enables collaborative model training across quantum devices without sharing raw data, and it faces the data and hardware heterogeneity inherent to noisy quantum devices. Utilizing the quantum geometric tensor is a natural remedy, yet pure-state approaches and diagonal approximations discard the correlations that encode parameter incompatibility. To address this, we extend the parameter-space geometry to the mixed states that noisy clients actually prepare. The real part of the resulting mixed-state geometric tensor is the Bures metric, which measures how fast the physical state changes under parameter variation, and the imaginary part is the mean Uhlmann curvature, which quantifies the incompatibility of estimating multiple parameters simultaneously. Accordingly, we employ the Bures metric as a local preconditioner and use the mean Uhlmann curvature to develop an achievable-precision aggregation rule that dynamically down-weights unreliable clients. Furthermore, we establish theoretical guarantees by proving a convergence theorem and a variance-dominance proposition. Empirical evaluations on a trapped-ion quantum emulator demonstrate that the proposed method maintains high accuracy across diverse device-heterogeneity conditions and outperforms standard federated averaging, whose accuracy degrades under strong noise.
