Supervised Learning with Quantum Measurements
Fabio A. González, Vladimir Vargas-Calderón, Herbert Vinck-Posada
This paper reports a novel method for supervised machine learning based on the mathematical formalism that supports quantum mechanics. The method uses projective quantum measurement as a way of building a prediction function. Specifically, the relationship between input and output variables is represented as the state of a bipartite quantum system. The state is estimated from training samples through an averaging process that produces a density matrix. Prediction of the label for a new sample is made by performing a projective measurement on the bipartite system with an operator, prepared from the new input sample, and applying a partial trace to obtain the state of the subsystem representing the output. The method can be seen as a generalization of Bayesian inference classification and as a type of kernel-based learning method. One remarkable characteristic of the method is that it does not require learning any parameters through optimization. We illustrate the method with different 2-D classification benchmark problems and different quantum information encodings.
