• Abstract: This work presents a novel realization approach to Quantum Boltzmann Machines (QBMs). The preparation of the required Gibbs states, as well as the evaluation of the loss function's analytic gradient is based on Variational Quantum Imaginary Time Evolution, a technique that is typically used for ground state computation. In contrast to existing methods, this implementation facilitates near-term compatible QBM training with gradients of the actual loss function for arbitrary parameterized Hamiltonians which do not necessarily have to be fully-visible but may also include hidden units. The variational Gibbs state approximation is demonstrated with numerical simulations and experiments run on real quantum hardware provided by IBM Quantum. Furthermore, we illustrate the application of this variational QBM approach to generative and discriminative learning tasks using numerical simulation.

  Equilibrium propagation (EP) is a procedure that has been introduced and applied to classical energy-based models which relax to an equilibrium. Here, we show a direct connection between EP and Onsager reciprocity and exploit this to derive a quantum version of EP. This can be used to optimize loss functions that depend on the expectation values of observables of an arbitrary quantum system.

• Adaptive variational algorithms for quantum Gibbs state preparation [0.0]
  We introduce an objective function that, unlike the free energy, is easily measured, and (ii) using dynamically generated, problem-tailored ans"atze. This allows for arbitrarily accurate Gibbs state preparation using low-depth circuits. We numerically demonstrate that our algorithm can prepare high-fidelity Gibbs states across a broad range of temperatures and for a variety of Hamiltonians.

  Quantum algorithms for quantum dynamics simulations are traditionally based on implementing a Trotter-approximation of the time-evolution operator. variational quantum algorithms have become an indispensable alternative, enabling small-scale simulations on present-day hardware. We show that, despite providing a clear reduction of quantum gate cost, the variational method in its current implementation is unlikely to lead to a quantum advantage.
