Abstract
This disclosure relates to classification methods that can be implemented on quantum computing systems. According to a first aspect, this specification describes a method for training a classifier implemented on a quantum computer, the method comprising: preparing a plurality of qubits in an input state with a known classification, said plurality of qubits comprising one or more readout qubits; applying one or more parameterised quantum gates to the plurality of qubits to transform the input state to an output state; determining, using a readout state of the one or more readout qubits in the output state, a predicted classification of the input state; comparing the predicted classification with the known classification; and updating one or more parameters of the parameterised quantum gates in dependence on the comparison of the predicted classification with the known classification.
