Design of a novel hybrid quantum deep neural network in INEQR images classification

We redesign the parameterized quantum circuit in the quantum deep neural network, construct a three-layer structure as the hidden layer, and then use classical optimization algorithms to train the parameterized quantum circuit, thereby propose a novel hybrid quantum deep neural network(HQDNN) used for image classification. After bilinear interpolation reduces the original image to a suitable size, an improved novel enhanced quantum representation(INEQR) is used to encode it into quantum states as the input of the HQDNN. Multi-layer parameterized quantum circuits are used as the main structure to implement feature extraction and classification. The output results of parameterized quantum circuits are converted into classical data through quantum measurements and then optimized on a classical computer. To verify the performance of the HQDNN, we conduct binary classification and three classification experiments on the MNIST(Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology) data set. In the first binary classification, the accuracy of 0 and 4 exceeds98%. Then we compare the performance of three classification with other algorithms, the results on two datasets show that the classification accuracy is higher than that of quantum deep neural network and general quantum convolutional neural network.

Recurrent neural network decoding of rotated surface codes based on distributed strategy

Quantum error correction is a crucial technology for realizing quantum computers.These computers achieve faulttolerant quantum computing by detecting and correcting errors using decoding algorithms.Quantum error correction using neural network-based machine learning methods is a promising approach that is adapted to physical systems without the need to build noise models.In this paper,we use a distributed decoding strategy,which effectively alleviates the problem of exponential growth of the training set required for neural networks as the code distance of quantum error-correcting codes increases.Our decoding algorithm is based on renormalization group decoding and recurrent neural network decoder.The recurrent neural network is trained through the ResNet architecture to improve its decoding accuracy.Then we test the decoding performance of our distributed strategy decoder,recurrent neural network decoder,and the classic minimum weight perfect matching(MWPM)decoder for rotated surface codes with different code distances under the circuit noise model,the thresholds of these three decoders are about 0.0052,0.0051,and 0.0049,respectively.Our results demonstrate that the distributed strategy decoder outperforms the other two decoders,achieving approximately a 5%improvement in decoding efficiency compared to the MWPM decoder and approximately a 2%improvement compared to the recurrent neural network decoder.

A backdoor attack against quantum neural networks with limited information

Backdoor attacks are emerging security threats to deep neural networks.In these attacks,adversaries manipulate the network by constructing training samples embedded with backdoor triggers.The backdoored model performs as expected on clean test samples but consistently misclassifies samples containing the backdoor trigger as a specific target label.While quantum neural networks(QNNs)have shown promise in surpassing their classical counterparts in certain machine learning tasks,they are also susceptible to backdoor attacks.However,current attacks on QNNs are constrained by the adversary's understanding of the model structure and specific encoding methods.Given the diversity of encoding methods and model structures in QNNs,the effectiveness of such backdoor attacks remains uncertain.In this paper,we propose an algorithm that leverages dataset-based optimization to initiate backdoor attacks.A malicious adversary can embed backdoor triggers into a QNN model by poisoning only a small portion of the data.The victim QNN maintains high accuracy on clean test samples without the trigger but outputs the target label set by the adversary when predicting samples with the trigger.Furthermore,our proposed attack cannot be easily resisted by existing backdoor detection methods.

Deep learning framework for time series classification based on multiple imaging and hybrid quantum neural networks

Time series classification(TSC)has attracted a lot of attention for time series data mining tasks and has been applied in various fields.With the success of deep learning(DL)in computer vision recognition,people are starting to use deep learning to tackle TSC tasks.Quantum neural networks(QNN)have recently demonstrated their superiority over traditional machine learning in methods such as image processing and natural language processing,but research using quantum neural networks to handle TSC tasks has not received enough attention.Therefore,we proposed a learning framework based on multiple imaging and hybrid QNN(MIHQNN)for TSC tasks.We investigate the possibility of converting 1D time series to 2D images and classifying the converted images using hybrid QNN.We explored the differences between MIHQNN based on single time series imaging and MIHQNN based on the fusion of multiple time series imaging.Four quantum circuits were also selected and designed to study the impact of quantum circuits on TSC tasks.We tested our method on several standard datasets and achieved significant results compared to several current TSC methods,demonstrating the effectiveness of MIHQNN.This research highlights the potential of applying quantum computing to TSC and provides the theoretical and experimental background for future research.

And it finds that the unbalanced cells coupled QCNN is easy to cause chaotic oscillation and the system response enters into chaotic state from quasi-periodic state by quasi-period bifurcation; however, the balanced cells coupled QCNN also can be chaotic when coupling parameters is in some region. Additionally, both the unbalanced and balanced cells coupled QCNNs can possess hyper-chaotic behaviour. It provides valuable information about QCNNs for future application in high-parallel signal processing and novel ultra-small chaotic generators.

Quantum Particle Swarm Optimization Based Convolutional Neural Network for Handwritten Script Recognition

Even though several advances have been made in recent years,handwritten script recognition is still a challenging task in the pattern recognition domain.This field has gained much interest lately due to its diverse application potentials.Nowadays,different methods are available for automatic script recognition.Among most of the reported script recognition techniques,deep neural networks have achieved impressive results and outperformed the classical machine learning algorithms.However,the process of designing such networks right from scratch intuitively appears to incur a significant amount of trial and error,which renders them unfeasible.This approach often requires manual intervention with domain expertise which consumes substantial time and computational resources.To alleviate this shortcoming,this paper proposes a new neural architecture search approach based on meta-heuristic quantum particle swarm optimization(QPSO),which is capable of automatically evolving the meaningful convolutional neural network(CNN)topologies.The computational experiments have been conducted on eight different datasets belonging to three popular Indic scripts,namely Bangla,Devanagari,and Dogri,consisting of handwritten characters and digits.Empirically,the results imply that the proposed QPSO-CNN algorithm outperforms the classical and state-of-the-art methods with faster prediction and higher accuracy.

Purification in entanglement distribution with deep quantum neural network

Entanglement distribution is important in quantum communication. Since there is no information with value in this process, purification is a good choice to solve channel noise. In this paper, we simulate the purification circuit under true environment on Cirq, which is a noisy intermediate-scale quantum(NISQ) platform. Besides, we apply quantum neural network(QNN) to the state after purification. We find that combining purification and quantum neural network has good robustness towards quantum noise. After general purification, quantum neural network can improve fidelity significantly without consuming extra states. It also helps to obtain the advantage of entangled states with higher dimension under amplitude damping noise. Thus, the combination can bring further benefits to purification in entanglement distribution.
