Quantum adiabatic machine learning

Pudenz, Kristen L., Lidar, Daniel A.

Understand

We develop an approach to machine learning and anomaly detection via quantum adiabatic evolution.

  • In the training phase we identify an optimal set of weak classifiers, to form a single strong classifier.
  • In the testing phase we adiabatically evolve one or more strong classifiers on a superposition of inputs in order to find certain anomalous elements in the classification space.
  • Both the training and testing phases are executed via quantum adiabatic evolution.
