Abstract
To obtain meaningful computational results despite limits on the amount of data that can be input to a quantum computer, a data selection system uses an iterative approach to select a suitable subset of data to be input to a quantum device for processing by a quantum algorithm. The system compresses and clusters a data set according to a task-specific distribution criteria and selects a subset of this clustered data corresponding to representative cases of the data. The selected subset is processed by the quantum device and the system generates a metric score based on the degree to which the results satisfy a performance criterion. The selected subset is refined over multiple iterations based on successive metric scores until a termination criterion is reached, and the final selected subset of data is used as input to the quantum computer for execution of the processing task.
