One scalable method to construct an MNQC is using superconducting quantum systems with optical interconnects. However, internode gates in these systems may be two to three orders of magnitude noisier and slower than local operations. Surmounting the limitations of internode gates will require improvements in entanglement generation, use of entanglement distillation, and optimized software and compilers. Still, it remains unclear what performance is possible with current hardware and what performance algorithms require. In this paper, we employ a systems analysis approach to quantify overall MNQC performance in terms of hardware models of internode links, entanglement distillation, and local architecture. We show how to navigate tradeoffs in entanglement generation and distillation in the context of algorithm performance, lay out how compilers and software should balance between local and internode gates, and discuss when noisy quantum internode links have an advantage over purely classical links. We find that a factor of 10-100x better link performance is required and introduce a research roadmap for the co-design of hardware and software towards the realization of early MNQCs.

We emphasize the refinement of algorithm implementation and devise strategies to enhance quantum circuits for better control over problem variables. To this end, we adopt classical principles such as modularization, which allows for systematic and controlled execution of complex algorithms.

Realizing quantum circuit implementation with small qubit count and shallow circuit depth is necessary due to the linear scaling of decoherence rate with qubit count and circuit depth. Conversely, reasonable correction of small unitary errors can be achieved by using surface codes along with a transversal gate set to protect quantum information from decoherence. In this paper, we analyze and report the upper bound of non-Clifford phase-depth for different mapping schemes and synthesis approaches. We introduce a synthesis methodology based on lookup-table (LUT) networks, wherein the Boolean logic translates into fault-tolerant quantum logic using Clifford+ZN group with zero ancillary cost. We also present fault-tolerant synthesis techniques for k-LUT network using additional ancillary lines with exponential phase-count and unit phase-depth.","PeriodicalId":504393,"journal":{"name":"ACM Transactions on Quantum Computing","volume":"57 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141338886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The accuracy of these models relies on the amount of training data, due to the multitude of parameters that require tuning. Unfortunately, obtaining such ample data proves challenging, particularly in domains like medical applications, where there is a pressing need for robust models for early disease detection but a shortage of labeled data. Nevertheless, the classical supervised contrastive learning models, have shown the potential to address this challenge up to a certain limit, by utilizing deep encoder models. However, recent advancements in quantum machine learning enable the extraction of meaningful representations from extremely limited and simple data. Thus, replacing classical counterparts in classical or hybrid quantum-classical supervised contrastive models enhances feature learning capability with minimal data. Therefore, this work proposes the Q-SupCon model, a fully quantum-powered supervised contrastive learning model comprising a quantum data augmentation circuit, quantum encoder, quantum projection head, and quantum variational classifier, enabling efficient image classification with minimal labeled data. Furthermore, the novel model attains 80%, 60%, and 80% test accuracy on MNIST, KMNIST, and FMNIST datasets, marking a significant advancement in addressing the data scarcity challenge.","PeriodicalId":504393,"journal":{"name":"ACM Transactions on Quantum Computing","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140672932","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A\u0000 continuous\u0000 architecture, which produces continuous-valued data samples, and 2. a\u0000 discrete\u0000 architecture, which samples on a discrete grid. We also compare the performance of different data transformations: the min-max and the probability integral transforms. We use two popular training methods: 1. quantum circuit Born machines (QCBM), and 2. quantum generative adversarial networks (QGAN). We study their performance and trade-offs as the number of model parameters increases, with a baseline comparison of similarly trained classical neural networks. The study is performed on six low-dimensional synthetic and two real financial data sets. Our two key findings are that: 1. For all data sets, our quantum models require similar or fewer parameters than their classical counterparts. In the extreme case, the quantum models require two orders of magnitude less parameters. 2.
