Abstract

We present a new class of quantum neural networks (QNNs) whose states are solutions of pp-adic Schr\"{o}dinger equations with a non-local potential that controls the interaction between the neurons. These equations are obtained as Wick rotations of the state equations of pp-adic cellular neural networks (CNNs). The CNNs are continuous limits of discrete hierarchical neural networks (NNs). The CNNs are bio-inspired in the Wilson-Cowan model, which describes the macroscopic dynamics of large populations of neurons. We provide a detailed study of the discretization of the new pp-adic Schr\"{o}dinger equations, which allows the construction of new QNNs on simple graphs. We also conduct detailed numerical simulations, offering a clear insight into the functioning of the new QNNs. At a mathematical level, we show the existence of local solutions for the new pp -adic Schr\"{o}dinger equations.
