Multidimensional Fourier series with quantum circuits

Abstract

Quantum machine learning is the field that aims to integrate machine learning with quantum computation. In recent years, the field has emerged as an active research area with the potential to bring new insights to classical machine learning problems. One of the challenges in the field is to explore the expressibility of parametrized quantum circuits and their ability to be universal function approximators, as classical neural networks are. Recent works have shown that with a quantum supervised learning model, we can fit any one-dimensional Fourier series, proving their universality. However, models for multidimensional functions have not been explored in the same level of detail. In this work, we study the expressibility of various types of circuit ansatzes that generate multidimensional Fourier series. We found that, for some ansatzes, the degrees of freedom required for fitting such functions grow faster than the available degrees in the Hilbert space generated by the circuits. For example, single-qudit models have limited power to represent arbitrary multidimensional Fourier series. Despite this, we show that we can enlarge the Hilbert space of the circuit by using more qudits or higher local dimensions to meet the degrees of freedom requirements, thus ensuring the universality of the models.
