Near Term Hybrid Quantum Computing Solution to the Matrix Riccati Equations

The well-known Riccati differential equations play a key role in many fields,including problems in protein folding,control and stabilization,stochastic control,and cybersecurity(risk analysis and malware propaga-tion).Quantum computer algorithms have the potential to implement faster approximate solutions to the Riccati equations compared with strictly classical algorithms.While systems with many qubits are still under development,there is significant interest in developing algorithms for near-term quantum computers to determine their accuracy and limitations.In this paper,we propose a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm,the Matrix Riccati Solver(MRS).This approach uses a transformation of variables to turn a set of nonlinear differential equation into a set of approximate linear differential equations(i.e.,second order non-constant coefficients)which can in turn be solved using a version of the Harrow-Hassidim-Lloyd(HHL)quantum algorithm for the case of Hermitian matrices.We implement this approach using the Qiskit language and compute near-term results using a 4 qubit IBM Q System quantum computer.Comparisons with classical results and areas for future research are discussed.

The Self-Learning Gate for Quantum Computing

Self-learning is one of the most important scientific methods that helps develop sciences, as it derives from the desire and interests of the individual. However, self-learning loses importance if it does not follow the scientific methodology for building and organizing information. The case becomes harder if the science is new and few scientific sources are available. Quantum computing is one of the new sciences in computer science and needs the support of specialists to develop it. Quantum computing overlaps with many sciences such as physics, chemistry, and mathematics, so any student in one of the previous disciplines may lose the correct self-learning path to find themselves learning the details of another discipline that does not achieve their goals. This article motivates students and those interested in computer science to begin studying the science of quantum computing and choose the same specialization that suits their interests. The article also provides a roadmap for self-learning steps to protect the learner from losing the correct learning path. I have categorized the stages of learning quantum computing into four steps through which all the essential basics can be learned, provided the goals mentioned in each stage which should be achieved. The learning strategy proposed in this article corresponds with individuals’ self-learning rules. Through my personal experience, the proposed learning strategy has proven its effectiveness in building information in an enjoyable scientific way.

Inaccuracies of traffic sensors during traffic counting and vehicle classification have persisted as transportation agencies have been prompted to calibrate sensors periodically.Detection of multiple objects,heavy occlusions,and similar appearances in congested places are some causes of computer vision model inaccuracies.This paper used the YOLOv5 model for detection and the DeepSORT model for tracking objects.Due to the nature of the reported problem caused by many misses and mismatches,the power of quantum computing with the alternating direction method of multipliers(ADMM)optimizer was leveraged.A basic Kalman filter and the Hungarian algorithm features were used in combination with a quantum optimizer to present robust multiple object tracking(MOT)algorithms.This hybrid combination of the classical and quantum model has fastened learning the occludes during frame matching of tracks and detections by generating minimum quantum cost function value.Comparisons with the existing models indicated a significant increase in the primary MOT metric multiple object tracking accuracy(MOTA)by 16%more than the regular YOLOv5-DeepSORT model when using a quantum optimizer.Also,a 6%multiple object tracking precision(MOTP)increases and a 6%identification metrics(F_(1))score increase were observed using the quantum optimizer with identity switching reduced from 6 to 4.This model is expected to assist transportation officials in improving the accuracy of traffic counts and vehicle classification and reduce the need for regular computer vision software calibration.

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.

Electric field dependence of spin qubit in a Si-MOS quantum dot

Valley, the intrinsic feature of silicon, is an inescapable subject in silicon-based quantum computing. At the spin–valley hotspot, both Rabi frequency and state relaxation rate are significantly enhanced. With protection against charge noise, the valley degree of freedom is also conceived to encode a qubit to realize noise-resistant quantum computing.Here, based on the spin qubit composed of one or three electrons, we characterize the intrinsic properties of valley in an isotopically enriched silicon quantum dot(QD) device. For one-electron qubit, we measure two electric-dipole spin resonance(EDSR) signals which are attributed to partial occupation of two valley states. The resonance frequencies of two EDSR signals have opposite electric field dependences. Moreover, we characterize the electric field dependence of the upper valley state based on three-electron qubit experiments. The difference of electric field dependences of the two valleys is 52.02 MHz/V, which is beneficial for tuning qubit frequency to meet different experimental requirements. As an extension of electrical control spin qubits, the opposite electric field dependence is crucial for qubit addressability,individual single-qubit control and two-qubit gate approaches in scalable quantum computing.

Quantum circuit-based proxy blind signatures:A novel approach and experimental evaluation on the IBM quantum cloud platform

This paper presents a novel approach to proxy blind signatures in the realm of quantum circuits,aiming to enhance security while safeguarding sensitive information.The main objective of this research is to introduce a quantum proxy blind signature(QPBS)protocol that utilizes quantum logical gates and quantum measurement techniques.The QPBS protocol is constructed by the initial phase,proximal blinding message phase,remote authorization and signature phase,remote validation,and de-blinding phase.This innovative design ensures a secure mechanism for signing documents without revealing the content to the proxy signer,providing practical security authentication in a quantum environment under the assumption that the CNOT gates are securely implemented.Unlike existing approaches,our proposed QPBS protocol eliminates the need for quantum entanglement preparation,thus simplifying the implementation process.To assess the effectiveness and robustness of the QPBS protocol,we conduct comprehensive simulation studies in both ideal and noisy quantum environments on the IBM quantum cloud platform.The results demonstrate the superior performance of the QPBS algorithm,highlighting its resilience against repudiation and forgeability,which are key security concerns in the realm of proxy blind signatures.Furthermore,we have established authentic security thresholds(82.102%)in the presence of real noise,thereby emphasizing the practicality of our proposed solution.
