• Abstract: Quantum neural network (QNN) models have received increasing attention owing to their strong expressibility and resistance to overfitting. It is particularly useful when the size of the training data is small, making it a good fit for materials informatics (MI) problems. However, there are only a few examples of the application of QNN to multivariate regression models, and little is known about how these models are constructed. This study aims to construct a QNN model to predict the melting points of metal oxides as an example of a multivariate regression task for the MI problem. Different architectures (encoding methods and entangler arrangements) are explored to create an effective QNN model. Shallow-depth ansatzs could achieve sufficient expressibility using sufficiently entangled circuits. The "linear" entangler was adequate for providing the necessary entanglement. The expressibility of the QNN model could be further improved by increasing the circuit width. The generalization performance could also be improved, outperforming the classical NN model. No overfitting was observed in the QNN models with a well-designed encoder. These findings suggest that QNN can be a useful tool for MI.

  We propose an enhanced neural network framework designed for scientific machine learning applications involving long temporal sequences. By reformulating the original Mechanistic Neural Network (MNN) we reduce the computational time and space complexities from cubic and quadratic with respect to the sequence length, respectively, to linear. Extensive experiments demonstrate that S-MNN matches the original MNN in precision while substantially reducing computational resources.

  We study post-training approaches for mitigating overfitting in Quantum convolutional neural network (QCNN) We find that a straightforward adaptation of a classical post-training method, known as neuron dropout, to the quantum setting leads to a substantial decrease in success probability of the QCNN. We argue that this effect exposes the crucial role of entanglement in QCNNs and the vulnerability of QCNNs to entanglement loss.

  We propose a new kind of quantum recurrent neural network (QRNN) to find quantum advantageous applications in the near term. Our QRNN is built by stacking the QRBs in a staggered way that can greatly reduce the algorithm's requirement with regard to the coherent time of quantum devices. The numerical experiments show that our QRNN achieves much better performance in prediction (classification) accuracy against the classical RNN and state-of-the-art QNN models for sequential learning.

  Quantization neural networks (QNNs) are very attractive to the industry because their extremely cheap calculation and storage overhead, but their performance is still worse than that of networks with full-precision parameters. Most of existing methods aim to enhance performance of QNNs especially binary neural networks by exploiting more effective training techniques. We address this problem by projecting features in original full-precision networks to high-dimensional quantization features.
