Quantum Quantile Mechanics: Solving Stochastic Differential Equations for Generating Time-Series

Abstract

We propose a quantum algorithm for sampling from a solution of stochastic differential equations (SDEs). Using differentiable quantum circuits (DQCs) with a feature map encoding of latent variables, we represent the quantile function for an underlying probability distribution and extract samples as DQC expectation values. Using quantile mechanics we propagate the system in time, thereby allowing for time-series generation. We test the method by simulating the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process and sampling at times different from the initial point, as required in financial analysis and dataset augmentation. Additionally, we analyse continuous quantum generative adversarial networks (qGANs), and show that they represent quantile functions with a modified (reordered) shape that impedes their efficient time-propagation. Our results shed light on the connection between quantum quantile mechanics (QQM) and qGANs for SDE-based distributions, and point the importance of differential constraints for model training, analogously with the recent success of physics informed neural networks.
