Abstract

Deep learning achieves unprecedented success involves many fields, whereas the high requirement of memory and time efficiency tolerance have been the intractable challenges for a long time. On the other hand, quantum computing shows its superiorities in some computation problems owing to its intrinsic properties of superposition and entanglement, which may provide a new path to settle these issues. In this paper, a quantum deep convolutional neural network (QDCNN) model based on the quantum parameterized circuit for image recognition is investigated. In analogy to the classical deep convolutional neural network (DCNN), the architecture that a sequence of quantum convolutional layers followed by a quantum classified layer is illustrated. Inspired by the variational quantum algorithms, a quantum–classical hybrid training scheme is demonstrated for the parameter updating in the QDCNN. The network complexity analysis indicates the proposed model provides the exponential acceleration comparing with the classical counterpart. Furthermore, the MNIST and GTSRB datasets are employed to numerical simulation and the quantitative experimental results verify the feasibility and validity.

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.
