Abstract: Image processing is one of the most promising applications for quantum machine learning. Quanvolutional neural networks with nontrainable parameters are the preferred solution to run on current and near future quantum devices. The typical input preprocessing pipeline for quanvolutional layers comprises of four steps: optional input binary quantization, encoding classical data into quantum states, […]

Convolutional Neural Decoder for Surface Codes

To perform reliable information processing in quantum computers, quantum error correction (QEC) codes are essential for the detection and correction of errors in the qubits. Among QEC codes, topological QEC codes are designed to interact between the neighboring qubits, which is a promising property for easing the implementation requirements. In addition, the locality to the […]
