• Abstract: Generative Modelling has become a promising use case for near term quantum computers. In particular, due to the fundamentally probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics, quantum computers naturally model and learn probability distributions, perhaps more efficiently than can be achieved classically. The Born machine is an example of such a model, easily implemented on near term quantum computers. However, in its original form, the Born machine only naturally represents discrete distributions. Since probability distributions of a continuous nature are commonplace in the world, it is essential to have a model which can efficiently represent them. Some proposals have been made in the literature to supplement the discrete Born machine with extra features to more easily learn continuous distributions, however, all invariably increase the resources required to some extent. In this work, we present the continuous variable Born machine, built on the alternative architecture of continuous variable quantum computing, which is much more suitable for modelling such distributions in a resource-minimal way. We provide numerical results indicating the models ability to learn both quantum and classical continuous distributions, including in the presence of noise.

  We provide the first method that allows one to provably generate unbiased and independent samples from general discrete factor models. Our method is compatible with multi-body interactions and its success probability does not depend on the number of variables. Experiments with quantum simulation as well as actual quantum hardware show that our method can carry out sampling and parameter learning on quantum computers.

  This paper presents an application of Born machines to Monte Carlo simulations and extends their reach to conditional distributions. Born machines are used to generate muonic force carriers (MFC) events in high-energy-physics colliders experiments. Empirical evidences suggest that Born machines can reproduce the underlying distribution of datasets coming from Monte Carlo simulations.

  We investigate, within two different oracle models, the learnability of quantum circuit Born machines. We first show a negative result, that the output distributions of super-logarithmic depth Clifford circuits are not sample-efficiently learnable. We show that in a more powerful oracle model, namely when directly given access to samples, the output distributions of local Clifford circuits are computationally efficiently PAC learnable.

  An empirical model is said contextual if its distributions cannot be obtained marginalizing a joint distribution over X. We present a different and classical source of contextual empirical models: the interaction among many processes. The statistical behavior of the network in the long run makes the empirical model generically contextual and even strongly contextual.
