New directions in quantum neural networks research

With the development of quantum information technology,the performance highlighted by quantum computing represents the unparalleled superiority over the classical computing.As a new computing paradigm,it has attracted more and more attentions.Quantum theory and artificial neural networks have many essential intercommunication in solving problems.The fusion of these two fields forms the discipline of quantum neural networks[1,2],meanwhile,provides many research opportunities.Firstly,a number of recent works have used neural networks to study properties of quantum systems.Secondly,redefining and reconstructing more efficient neural networks based on quantum information theory have gradually aroused people's interest.
