Quantum Machine Learning¶

Introduction to Quantum Machine Learning¶

Quantum Machine Learning (QML) combines the principles of quantum computing with machine learning techniques. It aims to leverage the power of quantum computers to solve complex machine learning problems more efficiently than classical computers.

Quantum Data Encoding¶

Quantum data encoding is the process of representing classical data in a quantum state. This is a crucial step in quantum machine learning as it allows classical data to be processed by quantum algorithms.

Example: Quantum Data Encoding¶

In [ ]:
from qiskit import QuantumCircuit
import numpy as np

# Define a function to encode classical data into a quantum state
def encode_data(data):
    n = len(data)
    qc = QuantumCircuit(n)
    for i in range(n):
        qc.ry(data[i], i)
    return qc

# Example data
data = [np.pi/4, np.pi/2, np.pi/3]

# Encode the data
qc = encode_data(data)
qc.draw('mpl')

Quantum Algorithms for Machine Learning¶

Quantum Support Vector Machine (QSVM)¶

Quantum Support Vector Machine (QSVM) is a quantum version of the classical SVM algorithm. It uses quantum computing to find the optimal hyperplane that separates different classes in the data.

Quantum Neural Networks (QNN)¶

Quantum Neural Networks (QNN) are quantum versions of classical neural networks. They use quantum circuits to represent and process data, potentially offering advantages in terms of speed and efficiency.

Example Implementation of Quantum Machine Learning Algorithms using Qiskit¶

# Load the dataset
feature_dim = 2
train_features, train_labels, test_features, test_labels = ad_hoc_data(
    training_size=20, test_size=10, n=feature_dim, gap=0.3

# Create the QSVM instance
qsvm = QSVM(train_features, train_labels, test_features, test_labels)

# Train the QSVM
qsvm.fit(train_features, train_labels)

# Test the QSVM

train_features, train_labels, test_features, test_labels = ad_hoc_data(
    training_size=20, test_size=10, n=feature_dim, gap=0.3

# Create the QNN instance
qnn = TwoLayerQNN(feature_dim, [2, 2], QuantumInstance(Aer.get_backend('qasm_simulator')))

# Create the VQC instance
vqc = VQC(qnn, optimizer='COBYLA', initial_point=None)

# Train the VQC
