Abstract
The matrix product state has been demonstrated to be able to explore the most relevant portion of the exponentially large quantum Hilbert space and find accurate solutions for one-dimensional interacting quantum many-body systems. Inspired by this success, here we propose a clustering algorithm based on the matrix product state, which first maps the classical data into quantum states represented as matrix product states, and then minimizes the loss function using a variational matrix product states algorithm in the enlarged space. We demonstrate this algorithm by applying it to several commonly used machine learning data sets, showing that this algorithm could reach higher learning precision and that it is less likely to be trapped in local minima compared to the standard K-means algorithm. We also show that this algorithm can achieve state-of-the-art learning precision on popular computer vision data sets when used in combination with better initialization schemes.
