• Abstract: Machine learning has recently developed novel approaches, mimicking the synapses of the human brain to achieve similarly efficient learning strategies. Such an approach retains the universality of standard methods, while attempting to circumvent their excessive requirements, which hinder their scalability. In this landscape, quantum (or quantum inspired) algorithms may bring enhancement. However, high-performing neural networks invariably display nonlinear behaviours, which poses a challenge to quantum platforms, given the intrinsically linear evolution of closed systems. We propose a strategy to enhance the nonlinearity achievable in this context, without resorting to entangling gates and report the first neuromorphic architecture based on a photonic quantum memristor. In detail, we show how the memristive feedback loop enhances the nonlinearity and hence the performance of the tested algorithms. We benchmark our model on four tasks, a nonlinear function and three time series prediction. In these cases, we highlight the essential role of the quantum memristive element and demonstrate the possibility of using it as a building block in more sophisticated networks.

  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.

  Quantum algorithms for quantum dynamics simulations are traditionally based on implementing a Trotter-approximation of the time-evolution operator. variational quantum algorithms have become an indispensable alternative, enabling small-scale simulations on present-day hardware. We show that, despite providing a clear reduction of quantum gate cost, the variational method in its current implementation is unlikely to lead to a quantum advantage.
