Abstract

Quantum Computing (QC) is a novel and disruptive paradigm of computation that leverages the properties of quantum mechanical systems to represent and process information. The interest in this emerging technology and its applications has been growing in recent years, especially regarding Quantum Machine Learning (QML). In QML, QC and Machine Learning (ML) techniques are combined to build more powerful and accurate learning models. Industries and research centers worldwide have been devoting significant efforts to find use cases of practical interest for which QML may be a suitable approach. In this work, one of the most common QML algorithms, namely a Variational Quantum Classifier (VQC), has been adopted for a supervised classification task in defence industry. The goal is to predict the failures that may happen during the final acceptance test of a finished product, based on the knowledge of test data related to its subassemblies. The test data have been collected using advanced IoT systems and the prediction has been made before the final product was assembled, so to improve the efficiency in the testing process. The VQC has been applied to a problem already approached with classical ML techniques, and then the classical and quantum performances have been compared. The results indicate promising performances and highlight the potential of QML algorithms in the industrial sector for predictive analysis use.
用于工业生产预测分析的变分量子分类器
量子计算(QC)是一种新颖的、颠覆性的计算范式,它利用量子力学系统的特性来表示和处理信息。近年来,人们对这一新兴技术及其应用的兴趣不断增长,尤其是量子机器学习(QML)。在QML中,QC和机器学习(ML)技术相结合,以构建更强大和准确的学习模型。世界各地的工业和研究中心已经投入了大量的精力来寻找实际的用例,QML可能是一种合适的方法。在这项工作中,最常见的QML算法之一,即变分量子分类器(VQC),已被用于国防工业的监督分类任务。目标是预测在成品的最终验收测试期间可能发生的故障,基于与其子组件相关的测试数据的知识。使用先进的物联网系统收集测试数据,并在最终产品组装之前进行预测,从而提高测试过程的效率。将VQC应用于经典机器学习技术已经解决的问题,然后比较了经典和量子性能。结果表明,QML算法具有良好的性能,并突出了QML算法在工业领域用于预测分析的潜力。
