We describe two distinct circuit types which receive their input either directly from a classical computer, or as a quantum state when embedded in a more advanced quantum algorithm.

• Abstract: Modelling non-linear activation functions on quantum computers is vital for quantum neurons employed in fully quantum neural networks, however, remains a challenging task. We introduce an amplitude-based implementation for approximating non-linearity in the form of the unit step function on a quantum computer. Our approach expands upon repeat-until-success protocols, suggesting a modification that requires a single measurement only. We describe two distinct circuit types which receive their input either directly from a classical computer, or as a quantum state when embedded in a more advanced quantum algorithm. All quantum circuits are theoretically evaluated using numerical simulation and executed on Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum hardware. We demonstrate that reliable experimental data with high precision can be obtained from our quantum circuits involving up to 8 qubits, and up to 25 CX-gate applications, enabled by state-of-the-art hardware-optimization techniques and measurement error mitigation.

  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.

  We present an approach where the quantum computation is supplemented by a classical result. Taking advantage of its anticipation also leads to a new type of quantum measurements, which we call anticipative. In an anticipative quantum measurement the combination of the results from classical and quantum computations happens only in the end.
