Embedding Learning in Hybrid Quantum-Classical Neural Networks

Quantum Physics 2023-01-31 v2

Abstract

Quantum embedding learning is an important step in the application of quantum machine learning to classical data. In this paper we propose a quantum few-shot embedding learning paradigm, which learns embeddings useful for training downstream quantum machine learning tasks. Crucially, we identify the circuit bypass problem in hybrid neural networks, where learned classical parameters do not utilize the Hilbert space efficiently. We observe that the few-shot learned embeddings generalize to unseen classes and suffer less from the circuit bypass problem compared with other approaches.
