A Quantum Perceptron Algorithm

Goals:

  1. Investigate the quantum perceptron algorithm proposed in the recent paper https://www.nature.com/articles/s41534-019-0140-4?amp%3Bcode=4cf1b507-7e23-4df0-a2a1-e82a3fe2bc4b
  2. "Extend" the algorithm to a 1-qubit implementation
  3. Examine the results and improve

Results:

Please view the series of Jupyter Notebooks in the directory, QuantumPerceptron.

The notebooks titled Part1, Part2, and Part3 implement the quantum perceptron algorithm in a tutorial-like fasion.

The notebook titled 1-qubit perceptron features my extension of the work and shows how to create a 1-qubit percetpron which can classify 2-dimensional Boolean data. There is also an analysis on the algorithm's ability to learn Boolean functions and a novel training algorithm is introduced to extend the algorithm's learning ability.
