Batched pattern search for QAOA parameter optimization on cloud-accessed quantum hardware

Muhammad Faryad

On a cloud-accessed quantum processor the classical optimizer of a variational algorithm communicates with the device through submitted jobs, and each job carries a queueing and tu…

Noise Resilience of Quantum Support Vector Machine with Selected Feature Maps

Muhammad Ahsan Shakeel, Saad Muzammil, Danyal Tayyub +1

Gate-level noise degrades the classification accuracy of Quantum Support Vector Machines (QSVMs) on Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) hardware, and the degree of degradation…

Quantum Kernel k-Means for Credit-Card Fraud Detection:A Controlled Benchmark on Real Transaction Data

Muhammad Faryad

We benchmarked quantum kernel -means against classical clustering for credit-card fraud detection on real transaction data, at up to \MaxQubits{} qubits, under a protocol with s…

The Input Problem: A Permanent Bottleneck for Quantum Machine Learning

Muhammad Faryad

Quantum algorithms are conventionally presented with their input state supplied for free. When the input is classical data, this convention conceals a cost that is frequently large…

Hybrid Quantum--Classical k-Means Clustering via Quantum Feature Maps

Syed M. Abdullah, Alisha Baba, Muhammad Siddique +1

Clustering is one of the most fundamental tasks in machine learning, and the k-means clustering algorithm is perhaps one of the most widely used clustering algorithms. However, it…

Distribution-Guided and Constrained Quantum Machine Unlearning

Nausherwan Malik, Zubair Khalid, Muhammad Faryad

Machine unlearning aims to remove the influence of specific training data from a learned model without full retraining. While recent work has begun to explore unlearning in quantum…

Geometric Parameterization of Kraus Operators with Applications to Quasi Inverse Channels for Multi Qubit Systems

Zain Ateeq, Muhammad Faryad

This work presents a differentiable geometric parameterization of quantum channels in Kraus representation, which can be efficiently probed to find an unknown quantum channel. We e…

Noise Thresholds for Quantum Advantage in the Bernstein-Vazirani and Deutsch-Jozsa Algorithms

Muhammad Faizan, Muhammad Faryad

We analytically investigate the robustness of the Bernstein-Vazirani and Deutsch-Jozsa algorithms against single-qubit Pauli noise, of which bit-flip, phase-flip, and depolarizing…

Enhancement of non-Markovianity due to environment-induced indirect interaction

Asif Zaman, Muhammad Faryad, Adam Zaman Chaudhry

Non-Markovian effects are often significant when the system-environment coupling is not weak. Indeed, we find that the non-Markovianity is negligible for a single two-level system…

Physics-inspired neural networks as quasi inverse of quantum channels

Sameen Aziz, Muhammad Faryad

Quantum channels are not invertible in general. A quasi-inverse allows for a partial recovery of the input state, but its analytical results are found only in a restricted space of…

Quasi Inverse of Qubit Channels for Mixed States

Muhammad Faizan, Muhammad Faryad

We found the quasi inverse of qubit channels as a unitary map, , by minimizing the average trace distance between the input state to the channel and the output of th…
