Efficient methods for loading given classical data into quantum circuits are essential for various quantum algorithms. In this paper, we propose an algorithm called that can effectively load all the components of a given real-valued data vector into the amplitude of quantum state, while the previous proposal can only load the absolute values of those components. The key of our algorithm is to variationally train a shallow parameterized quantum circuit, using the results of two types of measurement; the standard computational-basis measurement plus the measurement in the Hadamard-transformed basis, introduced in order to handle the sign of the data components. The variational algorithm changes the circuit parameters so as to minimize the sum of two costs corresponding to those two measurement basis, both of which are given by the efficiently-computable maximum mean discrepancy. We also consider the problem of constructing the singular value decomposition entropy via the stock market dataset to give a financial market indicator; a quantum algorithm (the variational singular value decomposition algorithm) is known to produce a solution faster than classical, which yet requires the sign-dependent amplitude encoding. We demonstrate, with an in-depth numerical analysis, that our algorithm realizes loading of time-series of real stock prices on quantum state with small approximation error, and thereby it enables constructing an indicator of the financial market based on the stock prices.

Machine learning is seen as a promising application of quantum computation. For near-term noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices, parametrized quantum circuits (PQCs) have been proposed as machine learning models due to their robustness and ease of implementation. However, the cost function is normally calculated classically from repeated measurement outcomes, such that it is no longer encoded in a quantum state. This prevents the value from being directly manipulated by a quantum computer. To solve this problem, we give a routine to embed the cost function for machine learning into a quantum circuit, which accepts a training dataset encoded in superposition or an easily preparable mixed state. We also demonstrate the ability to evaluate the gradient of the encoded cost function in a quantum state.
Recently, Bravyi, Gosset, and K{o}nig (Science, 2018) exhibited a search problem called the 2D Hidden Linear Function (2D HLF) problem that can be solved exactly by a constant-depth quantum circuit using bounded fan-in gates (or QNC^0 circuits), but cannot be solved by any constant-depth classical circuit using bounded fan-in AND, OR, and NOT gates (or NC^0 circuits). In other words, they exhibited a search problem in QNC^0 that is not in NC^0. We strengthen their result by proving that the 2D HLF problem is not contained in AC^0, the class of classical, polynomial-size, constant-depth circuits over the gate set of unbounded fan-in AND and OR gates, and NOT gates. We also supplement this worst-case lower bound with an average-case result: There exists a simple distribution under which any AC^0 circuit (even of nearly exponential size) has exponentially small correlation with the 2D HLF problem. Our results are shown by constructing a new problem in QNC^0, which we call the Relaxed Parity Halving Problem, which is easier to work with. We prove our AC^0 lower bounds for this problem, and then show that it reduces to the 2D HLF problem. As a step towards even stronger lower bounds, we present a search problem that we call the Parity Bending Problem, which is in QNC^0/qpoly (QNC^0 circuits that are allowed to start with a quantum state of their choice that is independent of the input), but is not even in AC^0[2] (the class AC^0 with unbounded fan-in XOR gates). All the quantum circuits in our paper are simple, and the main difficulty lies in proving the classical lower bounds. For this we employ a host of techniques, including a refinement of H{aa}stads switching lemmas for multi-output circuits that may be of independent interest, the Razborov-Smolensky AC^0[2] lower bound, Vaziranis XOR lemma, and lower bounds for non-local games.
Parameterized quantum circuits (PQCs) have been broadly used as a hybrid quantum-classical machine learning scheme to accomplish generative tasks. However, whether PQCs have better expressive power than classical generative neural networks, such as r estricted or deep Boltzmann machines, remains an open issue. In this paper, we prove that PQCs with a simple structure already outperform any classical neural network for generative tasks, unless the polynomial hierarchy collapses. Our proof builds on known results from tensor networks and quantum circuits (in particular, instantaneous quantum polynomial circuits). In addition, PQCs equipped with ancillary qubits for post-selection have even stronger expressive power than those without post-selection. We employ them as an application for Bayesian learning, since it is possible to learn prior probabilities rather than assuming they are known. We expect that it will find many more applications in semi-supervised learning where prior distributions are normally assumed to be unknown. Lastly, we conduct several numerical experiments using the Rigetti Forest platform to demonstrate the performance of the proposed Bayesian quantum circuit.
Parameterized quantum circuits (PQCs), which are essential for variational quantum algorithms, have conventionally been optimized by parameterized rotational angles of single-qubit gates around predetermined set of axes. We propose a new method to op timize a PQC by continuous parameterization of both the angles and the axes of its single-qubit rotations. The method is based on the observation that when rotational angles are fixed, optimal axes of rotations can be computed by solving a system of linear equations whose coefficients can be determined from the PQC with small computational overhead. The method can be further simplified to select axes freely from continuous parameters with rotational angles fixed to $pi$. We show the simplified free-axis selection method has better expressibility against other structural optimization methods when measured with Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence. We also demonstrate PQCs with free-axis selection are more effective to search the ground states of Heisenberg models and molecular Hamiltonians. Because free-axis selection allows designing PQCs without specifying their single-qubit rotational axes, it may significantly improve the handiness of PQCs.
The linear cross-entropy benchmark (Linear XEB) has been used as a test for procedures simulating quantum circuits. Given a quantum circuit $C$ with $n$ inputs and outputs and purported simulator whose output is distributed according to a distributio n $p$ over ${0,1}^n$, the linear XEB fidelity of the simulator is $mathcal{F}_{C}(p) = 2^n mathbb{E}_{x sim p} q_C(x) -1$ where $q_C(x)$ is the probability that $x$ is output from the distribution $C|0^nrangle$. A trivial simulator (e.g., the uniform distribution) satisfies $mathcal{F}_C(p)=0$, while Googles noisy quantum simulation of a 53 qubit circuit $C$ achieved a fidelity value of $(2.24pm0.21)times10^{-3}$ (Arute et. al., Nature19). In this work we give a classical randomized algorithm that for a given circuit $C$ of depth $d$ with Haar random 2-qubit gates achieves in expectation a fidelity value of $Omega(tfrac{n}{L} cdot 15^{-d})$ in running time $textsf{poly}(n,2^L)$. Here $L$ is the size of the emph{light cone} of $C$: the maximum number of input bits that each output bit depends on. In particular, we obtain a polynomial-time algorithm that achieves large fidelity of $omega(1)$ for depth $O(sqrt{log n})$ two-dimensional circuits. To our knowledge, this is the first such result for two dimensional circuits of super-constant depth. Our results can be considered as an evidence that fooling the linear XEB test might be easier than achieving a full simulation of the quantum circuit.
