Introduction to Quantum Neural Networks
Quantum Neural Networks (QNNs) represent an exciting frontier in AI research, combining principles of quantum mechanics with classical neural network architectures. These hybrid systems leverage quantum superposition and entanglement to process information in novel ways that could potentially solve problems intractable for classical systems.
We're exploring the integration of quantum computing with neural network structures, opening new possibilities in optimization, pattern recognition, and complex system simulation. This blog post outlines key concepts and presents an experimental implementation using Tensorflow Quantum and Cirq libraries.
For this research, we've developed a prototype model that demonstrates how quantum circuits can be used as fundamental building blocks for neural networks that leverage the unique properties of quantum systems.
Architecture Overview
[Quantum Network Simulation]
Our implementation uses parameterized quantum circuits as the basic building blocks of the neural network. These circuits consist of quantum gates that manipulate qubits, which are then fed through an output readout layer that maps the quantum state to classical values.
// Quantum Circuit Implementation
const quantumLayer = tfq.layers.quantum({
qubits: 4,
// Configuration parameters
});
// Hybrid model architecture
const model = tf.sequential();
model.add(quantumLayer);
model.add(tf.layers.dense({units: 64}));
