Hybrid Quantum Neural Networks Model Algorithm and Simulation

Abstract

A quantum neural networks model based on quantum neurons and traditional neurons is presented in this paper. The input of quantum neuron is real vector, its weight is quantum bits, its transforming function is an inner product operator and its output is a real number. The network includes three layers. Input layer is composed of traditional neurons that receive input information. Hidden layer is composed of quantum neurons that extract pattern feature of input information and transfer them to output layer. Output layer is composed of traditional neurons that export calculation result. The weightings of output layer are rectified by back propagation algorithm. The weightings of hidden layer are rectified by a group of quantum gates. A detailed learning algorithm is designed. Finally the availability of the model and algorithm is illustrated by two application examples of pattern recognition and functional approximation.
