Benchmarking machine learning models for quantum state classification
Pedicillo, Edoardo, Pasquale, Andrea, Carrazza, Stefano
Quantum computing is a growing field where the information is processed by two-levels quantum states known as qubits. Current physical realizations of qubits require a careful calibration, composed by different experiments, due to noise and decoherence phenomena. Among the different characterization experiments, a crucial step is to develop a model to classify the measured state by discriminating the ground state from the excited state. In this proceedings we benchmark multiple classification techniques applied to real quantum devices.
Product Jacobi-Theta Boltzmann machines with score matching
Pasquale, Andrea, Krefl, Daniel, Carrazza, Stefano, Nielsen, Frank
The estimation of probability density functions is a non trivial task that over the last years has been tackled with machine learning techniques. Successful applications can be obtained using models inspired by the Boltzmann machine (BM) architecture. In this manuscript, the product Jacobi-Theta Boltzmann machine (pJTBM) is introduced as a restricted version of the Riemann-Theta Boltzmann machine (RTBM) with diagonal hidden sector connection matrix. We show that score matching, based on the Fisher divergence, can be used to fit probability densities with the pJTBM more efficiently than with the original RTBM.
