Applications of Large-Scale Quantum Neural Networks Based on Distributed Quantum Computing
This research investigates the limitations of current quantum hardware in fulfilling the computational demands of quantum neural networks. It introduces an optimized circuit computed method leveraging bit splitting within the framework of distributed quantum computing. The research exemplifies this approach by decomposing a 25-qubit variational quantum circuit into several smaller 5-qubit circuits, thereby enabling distributed quantum computations. A hybrid quantum-classical neural network architecture employing this methodology was implemented and evaluated on selected computer vision datasets. The results were promising, affirming the viability of the approach. The successful implementation of this architecture suggests that future distributed quantum computing systems will likely consist of scalable, heterogeneous quantum systems interconnected through an extensive quantum network. This configuration is anticipated to significantly enhance computational power and versatility, expanding the scope of quantum computing applications in real-world scenarios. This advancement not only validates the feasibility of distributed quantum architectures but also underscores their potential to revolutionize various technological domains through enhanced computational capabilities.
