• Abstract: In this study, we propose a novel architecture, the Quantum Pointwise Convolution, which incorporates pointwise convolution within a quantum neural network framework. Our approach leverages the strengths of pointwise convolution to efficiently integrate information across feature channels while adjusting channel outputs. By using quantum circuits, we map data to a higher-dimensional space, capturing more complex feature relationships. To address the current limitations of quantum machine learning in the Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) era, we implement several design optimizations. These include amplitude encoding for data embedding, allowing more information to be processed with fewer qubits, and a weight-sharing mechanism that accelerates quantum pointwise convolution operations, reducing the need to retrain for each input pixels. In our experiments, we applied the quantum pointwise convolution layer to classification tasks on the FashionMNIST and CIFAR10 datasets, where our model demonstrated competitive performance compared to its classical counterpart. Furthermore, these optimizations not only improve the efficiency of the quantum pointwise convolutional layer but also make it more readily deployable in various CNN-based or deep learning models, broadening its potential applications across different architectures.

  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.
