Challenges and Opportunities of Quantum Machine Learning

"Quantum Computing" is a very young field.

Feynman, Richard (June 1982). "Simulating Physics with Computers"

"Let the computer itself be built of quantum mechanical elements which obey quantum mechanical laws"

Quantum Computers mostly likely will disprove Strong Church-Turing Thesis.

Why Quantum Computing?

Quantum Computing 101

Classical Bit \(x\in\mathbb{Z}=\{0,1\}\)

QuBit \(\rho\in\mathbb{C}^{2\times 2}\geq0\) & Tr\([\rho]=1\)

Random Bit \(\left(\begin{array}{cc} p(0) & 0\\ 0 & p(1) \end{array}\right)\) is a special case.

Quantum Operation: \(\rho\mapsto\sigma\) 

(Unitary is a special case.)

Quantum Measurement: \(\rho\mapsto\mathbb{R}\) 

Quantum Computing 101

Quantum Challenge #1

Noncommutative: \(AB\neq BA\) 

Moment Generating Function: \(\mathbb{E}e^{\theta (A+B)}\neq\mathbb{E}e^{\theta A}e^{\theta B}\) 

\frac{a}{b} \mapsto A B^{-1}?
e^{a+b} \mapsto e^A e^B?

Quantum Challenge #2

Could noise become useful in QML?

YES!

4.2 Harnessing Noise

4.2.1 Noise could preserve privacy.

Classical DP is well

studied; however, Quantum DP is not.

Quantum ML and DP learning have different aims!

Dilemma:

1. The first quantum DP algorithm.

2. Have the same privacy guarantee with the best classical DP algorithm.

3. Huge runtime improvement.
