Quantum-stabilized patterns in a vector Hopfield network

Richard D. Barney, Sharba Bhattacharjee, Victor Galitski +2

We introduce the quantum vector Hopfield network, in which patterns are formed by orientations of quantum vector spins; quantum dynamics arise intrinsically from the non-commutativ…

Benchmarking a Tunable Quantum Neural Network on Trapped-Ion and Superconducting Hardware

Djamil Lakhdar-Hamina, Xingxin Liu, Richard Barney +4

We implement a quantum generalization of a neural network on trapped-ion and IBM superconducting quantum computers to classify MNIST images, a common benchmark in computer vision.…

Natural Quantization of Neural Networks

Richard Barney, Djamil Lakhdar-Hamina, Victor Galitski

We propose a natural quantization of a standard neural network, where the neurons correspond to qubits and the activation functions are implemented via quantum gates and measuremen…

Slow Relaxation in a Glassy Quantum Circuit

Richard D. Barney, Yunxiang Liao, Victor Galitski

Quantum circuits have become a powerful tool in the study of many-body quantum physics, providing insights into both fast-thermalizing chaotic and non-thermalizing integrable many-…

Neural Networks as Spin Models: From Glass to Hidden Order Through Training

Richard Barney, Michael Winer, Victor Galitski

We explore a one-to-one correspondence between a neural network (NN) and a statistical mechanical spin model where neurons are mapped to Ising spins and weights to spin-spin coupli…

The Glass Transition of Quantum Hard Spheres in High Dimensions

Michael Winer, Christopher L. Baldwin, Richard Barney +2

We study the equilibrium thermodynamics of quantum hard spheres in the infinite-dimensional limit, determining the boundary between liquid and glass phases in the temperature-densi…
