We study the storage capacity of quantum neural networks (QNNs) described as completely positive trace preserving (CPTP) maps, which act on an $N$-dimensional Hilbert space. We demonstrate that QNNs can store up to $N$ linearly independent…

A recurrent neural network model storing multiple spatial maps, or ``charts'', is analyzed. A network of this type has been suggested as a model for the origin of place cells in the hippocampus of rodents. The extremely diluted and fully…
