A kernel-based quantum classifier is the most interesting and powerful quantum machine learning technique for hyperlinear classification of complex data, which can be easily realized in shallow-depth quantum circuits such as a SWAP test classifier. A variational quantum approximate support vector machine (VQASVM) can be realized inherently and explicitly on these circuits by introduction of a variational scheme to map the quadratic optimization problem of the support vector machine theory to a quantum-classical variational optimization problem. Probability weight modulation in index qubits of a classifier can designate support vectors among training vectors, which can be achieved with a parameterized quantum circuit (PQC). The classical parameters of PQC is then transferred to many copies of other decision inference circuits. Our VQASVM algorithm is experimented with toy example data sets on cloud-based quantum machines for feasibility evaluation, and numerically investigated to evaluate its performance on a standard iris flower and MNIST data set. The empirical run-time complexity of VQASVM is estimated to be sub-quadratic on the training data set size, while that of the classical solver is quadratic.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
