Abstract

We present quantum algorithms to efficiently perform discriminant analysis for dimensionality reduction and classification over an exponentially large input data set. Compared with the best-known classical algorithms, the quantum algorithms show an exponential speedup in both the number of training vectors and the feature space dimension . We generalize the previous quantum algorithm for solving systems of linear equations [Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 150502 (2009)] to efficiently implement a Hermitian chain product of trace-normalized Hermitian positive-semidefinite matrices with time complexity of . Using this result, we perform linear as well as nonlinear Fisher discriminant analysis for dimensionality reduction over vectors, each in an -dimensional feature space, in time , where denotes the tolerance error, and is the number of principal projection directions desired. We also present a quantum discriminant analysis algorithm for data classification with time complexity .
