TensorFlow Quantum: Impacts of Quantum State Preparation on Quantum Machine Learning Performance
Abstract
Learning methodologies on quantum devices have shown that there are advantages in utilizing quantum properties. A requirement for using quantum computing in machine learning techniques is the data representation as quantum states. In Quantum Machine Learning, quantum state preparation is paramount to attain a functional pipeline in a model. One state preparation method, amplitude encoding, allows a dataset to be mapped or encoded more robustly and enhances the learning of quantum models. Albeit more densely represented, a dataset which has been prepared by amplitude encoding provides a more learnable input to a model. The two main advantages from using amplitude encoding are an increase in classification accuracy and reduced variability of learning epoch to epoch. In this paper, we compare the basic implementations of TensorFlow Quantum's Quantum Convolutional Neural Network and a hybrid quantum-classical network using angle encoding, with a third network of our design that utilizes amplitude encoding for enriched state preparation. Our results show there is a direct benefit in performing amplitude encoding before training a TensorFlow Quantum hybrid quantum-classical model. In the best case scenario, amplitude encoding made classifying the samples 8.9% more accurate.
