Control for swing-up of an inverted pendulum using qubit neural network

Abstract

We have proposed a novel neuron model whose states and interactions with other neurons are based on the laws of quantum physics. In our previous works, neural network constricted by this neuron, i.e., qubit neural network, has been shown through various benchmark simulations. As an example of nonholonomic system control, in this report, the swing-up control of inverted pendulum by the qubit neural network is investigated to estimate the efficiencies for more practical applications. For comparison, our qubit neural network and a conventional neural network are evaluated. As a result, we find it is possible for our qubit neural network to swing up and stabilize the inverted pendulum while not for any conventional neural network.
