• Abstract: Quantum-inspired tensor networks algorithms have shown to be effective and efficient models for machine learning tasks, including anomaly detection. Here, we propose a highly parallelizable quantum-inspired approach which we call SMT-AD from Superposition of Multiresolution Tensors for Anomaly Detection. It is based upon the superposition of bond-dimension-1 matrix product operators to transform the input data with Fourier-assisted feature embedding, where the number of learnable parameters grows linearly with feature size, embedding resolutions, and the number of additional components in the matrix product operators structure. We demonstrate successful anomaly detection when applied to standard datasets, including credit card transactions, and find that, even with minimal configurations, it achieves competitive performance against established anomaly detection baselines. Furthermore, it provides a straightforward way to reduce the weight of the model and even improve the performance by highlighting the most relevant input features.

  The quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) conceived for solving optimization problems can be run on the existing noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices. We solve the maximum likelihood (ML) detection problem for general constellations by appropriately adapting the QAOA. In particular, for an M-ary Gray-mapped quadrature amplitude modulation (MQAM) constellation, we show that the specific qubits encoding the in-phase components and those encoding the quadrature components are independent in the quantum system of interest.

  Rank-R Feedforward Neural Network (FNN) is a tensor-based nonlinear learning model that imposes Canonical/Polyadic decomposition on its parameters. First, it handles inputs as multilinear arrays, bypassing the need for vectorization, and can thus fully exploit the structural information along every data dimension. We establish the universal approximation and learnability properties of Rank-R FNN, and we validate its performance on real-world hyperspectral datasets.
