Abstract

A prerequisite for many quantum information processing tasks to truly surpass classical approaches is an efficient procedure to encode classical data in quantum superposition states. In this work, we present a circuit-based flip-flop quantum random access memory to construct a quantum database of classical information in a systematic and flexible way. For registering or updating classical data consisting of M entries, each represented by n bits, the method requires O(n) qubits and O(Mn) steps. With post-selection at an additional cost, our method can also store continuous data as probability amplitudes. As an example, we present a procedure to convert classical training data for a quantum supervised learning algorithm to a quantum state. Further improvements can be achieved by reducing the number of state preparation queries with the introduction of quantum forking.

Figures

Figure 1 Quantum circuit for FF-QRAM that writes bit strings (d→)^(l) and (d→)^(l+1) as a quantum superposition state with probability amplitudes using multi-qubit controlled rotation gates determined by θ(l) and θ(l+1), respectively. The double lines indicate classically controlled operations, and the empty (filled) circle indicates that the gate is activated when the control bit (qubit) is 0 (1). The dotted and numbered arrows indicate the various steps described in the main text.

Figure 2 Error rate at each time step required for writing M classical data and n=log2(M) with the success probability ps. Solid lines with filled symbols are obtained when CnRp(θ) can fail at any of its decomposed locations independently, while dashed lines with open symbols are obtained when the multi-qubit controlled rotation only causes independent errors on n + 1 qubit, as described in the main text.

Figure 3 Quantum circuit for preparing the QDB for a quantum support vector machine. The gates are shown for writing an ith training data only. The gates shaded in gray are added solely for illustrating the flip-flop process, and are not implemented in practice.

Figure 4 (a) Quantum forking to reduce the number of QRAM calls for evaluating the functions of inner products. The swap operation is represented by two × symbols connected with a vertical line. (b) Quantum forking circuit for evolving the target state |Φ〉 under three different unitary operations in each branch (subspace). Thicker horizontal lines indicate multi-qubit channels, |a〉 is an arbitrary ancilla state, and H (H3) represents the Hadamard gate on a qubit (qutrit).

The gates after the Toffoli gate for conditionally flipping the target qubit uncompute the ancila qubits in order to unentangle the ancillae from the system.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
