• Abstract: The main goal of this master's thesis is to introduce Quantum Natural Language Processing (QNLP) in a way understandable by both the NLP engineer and the quantum computing practitioner. QNLP is a recent application of quantum computing that aims at representing sentences' meaning as vectors encoded into quantum computers. To achieve this, the distributional meaning of words is extended by the compositional meaning of sentences (DisCoCat model) : the vectors representing words' meanings are composed through the syntactic structure of the sentence. This is done using an algorithm based on tensor products. We see that this algorithm is inefficient on classical computers but scales well using quantum circuits. After exposing the practical details of its implementation, we go through three use-cases.

A new phrase is classified based on the accumulation of these weights in a scoring qubit using entangling controlled-NOT gates.

The algorithm proposed proved to be efficient in decomposition of quantum circuits, and as a generic approach, it is limited only by the available computational power.
