Toward Trainability of Deep Quantum Neural Networks

Kaining Zhang, Min-Hsiu Hsieh, Liu Liu +1

Quantum Neural Networks (QNNs) with random structures have poor trainability due to the exponentially vanishing gradient as the circuit depth and the qubit number increase. This re…

Quantum algorithm for finding the negative curvature direction in non-convex optimization

Kaining Zhang, Min-Hsiu Hsieh, Liu Liu +1

We present an efficient quantum algorithm aiming to find the negative curvature direction for escaping the saddle point, which is the critical subroutine for many second-order non-…
