• Abstract: With increasing maturity of quantum computers, standard methods for characterizing global properties of their output quantum states via direct measurements and classical post-processing are becoming increasingly impractical due to large measurement costs. Although quantum neural networks could directly process quantum states to identify underlying characteristics with reduced measurement efforts, they often require deep quantum circuits that cannot be implemented on existing devices. To overcome these challenges, we introduce a hybrid quantum-classical neural network that consists of a shallow parameterized quantum circuit, measurements, and a classical neural network. The parameterized quantum circuit performs a nonlocal transformation of the measurement basis, which is jointly trained with the classical neural network to maximize the statistical distance between data obtained by measuring different quantum states. Using supervised learning, we demonstrate that the hybrid neural network distinguishes the topological phase of the surface code from a symmetry-enriched topological phase and random product states. Moreover, this hybrid neural network reduces both inference and training sample complexities of recognizing the topological phase by approximately one order of magnitude compared to a classical neural network trained on randomized Pauli measurements. As this hybrid neural network features a shallow quantum circuit that can be readily implemented on existing quantum computers, it enables the efficient characterization of complex quantum states.

  Quantum neural networks tailored to recognize specific features of quantum states by combining unitary operations, measurements and feedforward promise to require fewer measurements and to tolerate errors. We realize a quantum convolutional neural network (QCNN) on a 7-qubit superconducting quantum processor to identify symmetry-protected topological phases of a spin model characterized by a non-zero string order parameter. We find that, despite being composed of finite-fidelity gates itself, the QCNN recognizes the topological phase with higher fidelity than direct measurements of the string order parameter for the prepared states.
