We describe a quantum-assisted machine learning (QAML) method in which multivariate data is encoded into quantum states in a Hilbert space whose dimension is exponentially large in the length of the data vector. Learning in this space occurs through applying a low-depth quantum circuit with a tree tensor network (TTN) topology, which acts as an unsupervised feature extractor to identify the most relevant quantum states in a data-driven fashion. This unsupervised feature extractor then feeds a supervised linear classifier and encodes the output in a small-dimensional quantum register. In contrast to previous work on emph{quantum-inspired} TTN classifiers, in which the embedding map and class decision weights did not map the data to well-defined quantum states, we present an approach that can be implemented on gate-based quantum computing devices. In particular, we identify an embedding map with accuracy similar to exponential machines (Novikov emph{et al.}, arXiv:1605.03795), but which produces valid quantum states from classical data vectors, and utilize manifold-based gradient optimization schemes to produce isometric operations mapping quantum states to a register of qubits defining a class decision. We detail methods for efficiently obtaining one- and two-point correlation functions of the decision boundary vectors of the quantum model, which can be used for model interpretability, as well as methods for obtaining classifications from partial data vectors. Further, we show that the use of isometric tensors can significantly aid in the human interpretability of the correlation functions extracted from the decision weights, and may produce models that are less susceptible to adversarial perturbations. We demonstrate our methodologies in applications utilizing the MNIST handwritten digit dataset and a multivariate timeseries dataset of human activity recognition.

We show how to learn structures of generic, non-Markovian, quantum stochastic processes using a tensor network based machine learning algorithm. We do this by representing the process as a matrix product operator (MPO) and train it with a database of local input states at different times and the corresponding time-nonlocal output state. In particular, we analyze a qubit coupled to an environment and predict output state of the system at different time, as well as reconstruct the full system process. We show how the bond dimension of the MPO, a measure of non-Markovianity, depends on the properties of the system, of the environment and of their interaction. Hence, this study opens the way to a possible experimental investigation into the process tensor and its properties.
The numerical simulation of quantum circuits is an indispensable tool for development, verification and validation of hybrid quantum-classical algorithms on near-term quantum co-processors. The emergence of exascale high-performance computing (HPC) p latforms presents new opportunities for pushing the boundaries of quantum circuit simulation. We present a modernized version of the Tensor Network Quantum Virtual Machine (TNQVM) which serves as a quantum circuit simulation backend in the eXtreme-scale ACCelerator (XACC) framework. The new version is based on the general purpose, scalable tensor network processing library, ExaTN, and provides multiple configurable quantum circuit simulators enabling either exact quantum circuit simulation via the full tensor network contraction, or approximate quantum state representations via suitable tensor factorizations. Upon necessity, stochastic noise modeling from real quantum processors is incorporated into the simulations by modeling quantum channels with Kraus tensors. By combining the portable XACC quantum programming frontend and the scalable ExaTN numerical backend we introduce an end-to-end virtual quantum development environment which can scale from laptops to future exascale platforms. We report initial benchmarks of our framework which include a demonstration of the distributed execution, incorporation of quantum decoherence models, and simulation of the random quantum circuits used for the certification of quantum supremacy on the Google Sycamore superconducting architecture.
With quantum computing technologies nearing the era of commercialization and quantum supremacy, machine learning (ML) appears as one of the promising killer applications. Despite significant effort, there has been a disconnect between most quantum ML proposals, the needs of ML practitioners, and the capabilities of near-term quantum devices to demonstrate quantum enhancement in the near future. In this contribution to the focus collection on What would you do with 1000 qubits?, we provide concrete examples of intractable ML tasks that could be enhanced with near-term devices. We argue that to reach this target, the focus should be on areas where ML researchers are struggling, such as generative models in unsupervised and semi-supervised learning, instead of the popular and more tractable supervised learning techniques. We also highlight the case of classical datasets with potential quantum-like statistical correlations where quantum models could be more suitable. We focus on hybrid quantum-classical approaches and illustrate some of the key challenges we foresee for near-term implementations. Finally, we introduce the quantum-assisted Helmholtz machine (QAHM), an attempt to use near-term quantum devices to tackle high-dimensional datasets of continuous variables. Instead of using quantum computers to assist deep learning, as previous approaches do, the QAHM uses deep learning to extract a low-dimensional binary representation of data, suitable for relatively small quantum processors which can assist the training of an unsupervised generative model. Although we illustrate this concept on a quantum annealer, other quantum platforms could benefit as well from this hybrid quantum-classical framework.
Tensor networks have emerged as promising tools for machine learning, inspired by their widespread use as variational ansatzes in quantum many-body physics. It is well known that the success of a given tensor network ansatz depends in part on how wel l it can reproduce the underlying entanglement structure of the target state, with different network designs favoring different scaling patterns. We demonstrate here how a related correlation analysis can be applied to tensor network machine learning, and explore whether classical data possess correlation scaling patterns similar to those found in quantum states. We utilize mutual information as a natural analog to entanglement for classical data, and show that it can serve as a lower-bound on the network entanglement needed for probabilistic classification. We then develop a logistic regression algorithm to estimate the mutual information between bipartitions of data features, and verify its accuracy on a set of Gaussian distributions designed to mimic different correlation patterns. Using this algorithm, we characterize the scaling patterns in the MNIST and Tiny Images datasets, and find clear evidence of boundary-law scaling in the latter.
Quantum simulators and processors are rapidly improving nowadays, but they are still not able to solve complex and multidimensional tasks of practical value. However, certain numerical algorithms inspired by the physics of real quantum devices prove to be efficient in application to specific problems, related, for example, to combinatorial optimization. Here we implement a numerical annealer based on simulating the coherent Ising machine as a tool to sample from a high-dimensional Boltzmann probability distribution with the energy functional defined by the classical Ising Hamiltonian. Samples provided by such a generator are then utilized for the partition function estimation of this distribution and for the training of a general Boltzmann machine. Our study opens up a door to practical application of numerical quantum-inspired annealers.
