We demonstrate that it is possible to implement a quantum perceptron with a sigmoid activation function as an efficient, reversible many-body unitary operation. When inserted in a neural network, the perceptrons response is parameterized by the potential exerted by other neurons. We prove that such a quantum neural network is a universal approximator of continuous functions, with at least the same power as classical neural networks. While engineering general perceptrons is a challenging control problem --also defined in this work--, the ubiquitous sigmoid-response neuron can be implemented as a quasi-adiabatic passage with an Ising model. In this construct, the scaling of resources is favorable with respect to the total network size and is dominated by the number of layers. We expect that our sigmoid perceptron will have applications also in quantum sensing or variational estimation of many-body Hamiltonians.

We demonstrate how quantum computation can provide non-trivial improvements in the computational and statistical complexity of the perceptron model. We develop two quantum algorithms for perceptron learning. The first algorithm exploits quantum information processing to determine a separating hyperplane using a number of steps sublinear in the number of data points $N$, namely $O(sqrt{N})$. The second algorithm illustrates how the classical mistake bound of $O(frac{1}{gamma^2})$ can be further improved to $O(frac{1}{sqrt{gamma}})$ through quantum means, where $gamma$ denotes the margin. Such improvements are achieved through the application of quantum amplitude amplification to the version space interpretation of the perceptron model.
A universal quantum simulator would enable efficient simulation of quantum dynamics by implementing quantum-simulation algorithms on a quantum computer. Specifically the quantum simulator would efficiently generate qubit-string states that closely approximate physical states obtained from a broad class of dynamical evolutions. I provide an overview of theoretical research into universal quantum simulators and the strategies for minimizing computational space and time costs. Applications to simulating many-body quantum simulation and solving linear equations are discussed.
Quantum machine learning algorithms could provide significant speed-ups over their classical counterparts; however, whether they could also achieve good generalization remains unclear. Recently, two quantum perceptron models which give a quadratic improvement over the classical perceptron algorithm using Grovers search have been proposed by Wiebe et al. arXiv:1602.04799 . While the first model reduces the complexity with respect to the size of the training set, the second one improves the bound on the number of mistakes made by the perceptron. In this paper, we introduce a hybrid quantum-classical perceptron algorithm with lower complexity and better generalization ability than the classical perceptron. We show a quadratic improvement over the classical perceptron in both the number of samples and the margin of the data. We derive a bound on the expected error of the hypothesis returned by our algorithm, which compares favorably to the one obtained with the classical online perceptron. We use numerical experiments to illustrate the trade-off between computational complexity and statistical accuracy in quantum perceptron learning and discuss some of the key practical issues surrounding the implementation of quantum perceptron models into near-term quantum devices, whose practical implementation represents a serious challenge due to inherent noise. However, the potential benefits make correcting this worthwhile.
Perceptrons, which perform binary classification, are the fundamental building blocks of neural networks. Given a data set of size~$N$ and margin~$gamma$ (how well the given data are separated), the query complexity of the best-known quantum training algorithm scales as either $( icefrac{sqrt{N}}{gamma^2})log( icefrac1{gamma^2)}$ or $ icefrac{N}{sqrt{gamma}}$, which is achieved by a hybrid of classical and quantum search. In this paper, we improve the version space quantum training method for perceptrons such that the query complexity of our algorithm scales as $sqrt{ icefrac{N}{gamma}}$. This is achieved by constructing an oracle for the perceptrons using quantum counting of the number of data elements that are correctly classified. We show that query complexity to construct such an oracle has a quadratic improvement over classical methods. Once such an oracle is constructed, bounded-error quantum search can be used to search over the hyperplane instances. The optimality of our algorithm is proven by reducing the evaluation of a two-level AND-OR tree (for which the query complexity lower bound is known) to a multi-criterion search. Our quantum training algorithm can be generalized to train more complex machine learning models such as neural networks, which are built on a large number of perceptrons.
Evaluating the expectation of a quantum circuit is a classically difficult problem known as the quantum mean value problem (QMV). It is used to optimize the quantum approximate optimization algorithm and other variational quantum eigensolvers. We show that such an optimization can be improved substantially by using an approximation rather than the exact expectation. Together with efficient classical sampling algorithms, a quantum algorithm with minimal gate count can thus improve the efficiency of general integer-value problems, such as the shortest vector problem (SVP) investigated in this work.
