We report on experimental implementation of a machine-learned quantum gate driven by a classical control. The gate learns optimal phase-covariant cloning in a reinforcement learning scenario having fidelity of the clones as reward. In our experiment, the gate learns to achieve nearly optimal cloning fidelity allowed for this particular class of states. This makes it a proof of present-day feasibility and practical applicability of the hybrid machine learning approach combining quantum information processing with classical control. Moreover, our experiment can be directly generalized to larger interferometers where the computational cost of classical computer is much lower than the cost of boson sampling.

Despite the successes of recent works in quantum reinforcement learning, there are still severe limitations on its applications due to the challenge of encoding large observation spaces into quantum systems. To address this challenge, we propose usin g a neural network as a data encoder, with the Atari games as our testbed. Specifically, the neural network converts the pixel input from the games to quantum data for a Quantum Variational Circuit (QVC); this hybrid model is then used as a function approximator in the Double Deep Q Networks algorithm. We explore a number of variations of this algorithm and find that our proposed hybrid models do not achieve meaningful results on two Atari games - Breakout and Pong. We suspect this is due to the significantly reduced sizes of the hybrid quantum-classical systems.
This work proposes a computational procedure that uses a quantum walk in a complete graph to train classical artificial neural networks. The idea is to apply the quantum walk to search the weight set values. However, it is necessary to simulate a qua ntum machine to execute the quantum walk. In this way, to minimize the computational cost, the methodology employed to train the neural network will adjust the synaptic weights of the output layer, not altering the weights of the hidden layer, inspired in the method of Extreme Learning Machine. The quantum walk algorithm as a search algorithm is quadratically faster than its classic analog. The quantum walk variance is $O(t)$ while the variance of its classic analog is $O(sqrt{t})$, where $t$ is the time or iteration. In addition to computational gain, another advantage of the proposed procedure is to be possible to know textit{a priori} the number of iterations required to obtain the solutions, unlike the classical training algorithms based on gradient descendent.
Hamiltonian learning is crucial to the certification of quantum devices and quantum simulators. In this paper, we propose a hybrid quantum-classical Hamiltonian learning algorithm to find the coefficients of the Pauli operator components of the Hamil tonian. Its main subroutine is the practical log-partition function estimation algorithm, which is based on the minimization of the free energy of the system. Concretely, we devise a stochastic variational quantum eigensolver (SVQE) to diagonalize the Hamiltonians and then exploit the obtained eigenvalues to compute the free energys global minimum using convex optimization. Our approach not only avoids the challenge of estimating von Neumann entropy in free energy minimization, but also reduces the quantum resources via importance sampling in Hamiltonian diagonalization, facilitating the implementation of our method on near-term quantum devices. Finally, we demonstrate our approachs validity by conducting numerical experiments with Hamiltonians of interest in quantum many-body physics.
Universal quantum computers promise a dramatic speed-up over classical computers but a full-size realization remains challenging. However, intermediate quantum computational models have been proposed that are not universal, but can solve problems tha t are strongly believed to be classically hard. Aaronson and Arkhipov have shown that interference of single photons in random optical networks can solve the hard problem of sampling the bosonic output distribution which is directly connected to computing matrix permanents. Remarkably, this computation does not require measurement-based interactions or adaptive feed-forward techniques. Here we demonstrate this model of computation using high--quality laser--written integrated quantum networks that were designed to implement random unitary matrix transformations. We experimentally characterize the integrated devices using an in--situ reconstruction method and observe three-photon interference that leads to the boson-sampling output distribution. Our results set a benchmark for quantum computers, that hold the potential of outperforming conventional ones using only a few dozen photons and linear-optical elements.

Quantum metrology plays a fundamental role in many scientific areas. However, the complexity of engineering entangled probes and the external noise raise technological barriers for realizing the expected precision of the to-be-estimated parameter wit h given resources. Here, we address this problem by introducing adjustable controls into the encoding process and then utilizing a hybrid quantum-classical approach to automatically optimize the controls online. Our scheme does not require any complex or intractable off-line design, and it can inherently correct certain unitary errors during the learning procedure. We also report the first experimental demonstration of this promising scheme for the task of finding optimal probes for frequency estimation on a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) processor. The proposed scheme paves the way to experimentally auto-search optimal protocol for improving the metrology precision.
