HYBRID DEEP NEURAL NETWORKS WITH QUANTUM CIRCUIT FOR IMAGE CLASSIFICATION
Abstract
The article describes hybrid convolutional neural network that uses one quantum circuit for image classification. Described the structure of the network, structure of the quantum circuit, compared several different quantum circuits with different number of qubits. The hybrid neural network was evaluated on MNIST Fashion dataset, which is radically different from MNIST dataset. Performance of hybrid neural network was compared for multiclass classification on MNIST and MNIST Fashion datasets for 4, 6, 8, 10 classes using quantum circuits with 2, 3, 4 qubits.
