• Abstract summary: We first review a series of recent works describing the implementation of artificial neurons and feed-forward neural networks on quantum processors. We then present an original realization of efficient individual quantum nodes based on variational unsampling protocols. While keeping full compatibility with the overall memory-efficient feed-forward architecture, our constructions effectively reduce the quantum circuit depth required to determine the activation probability of single neurons.

• Abstract: In the last few years, quantum computing and machine learning fostered rapid developments in their respective areas of application, introducing new perspectives on how information processing systems can be realized and programmed. The rapidly growing field of Quantum Machine Learning aims at bringing together these two ongoing revolutions. Here we first review a series of recent works describing the implementation of artificial neurons and feed-forward neural networks on quantum processors. We then present an original realization of efficient individual quantum nodes based on variational unsampling protocols. We investigate different learning strategies involving global and local layer-wise cost functions, and we assess their performances also in the presence of statistical measurement noise. While keeping full compatibility with the overall memory-efficient feed-forward architecture, our constructions effectively reduce the quantum circuit depth required to determine the activation probability of single neurons upon input of the relevant data-encoding quantum states. This suggests a viable approach towards the use of quantum neural networks for pattern classification on near-term quantum hardware.

  Given a quantum circuit containing d tunable RZ gates and G-d Clifford gates, can a learner perform purely classical inference to efficiently predict its linear properties? We prove that the sample complexity scaling linearly in d is necessary and sufficient to achieve a small prediction error, while the corresponding computational complexity may scale exponentially in d. We devise a kernel-based learning model capable of trading off prediction error and computational complexity, transitioning from exponential to scaling in many practical settings.
