VQC-MLPNet is a new hybrid quantum-classical architecture designed to address limitations of Variational Quantum Circuits (VQCs) for quantum machine learning.
It aims to overcome challenges like linear expressivity constraints, optimization difficulties, and sensitivity to quantum hardware noise.
VQC-MLPNet utilizes quantum circuits to generate parameters for classical Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLPs) dynamically, expanding representation capabilities and enhancing training stability.
The architecture combines amplitude encoding and parameterized quantum operations to improve performance.
Theoretical guarantees are provided through statistical learning techniques and Neural Tangent Kernel analysis, giving upper bounds on approximation, deviation, and optimization errors.
The research shows exponential improvements in representation capacity compared to quantum circuit depth and qubit numbers, offering computational advantages over standalone quantum circuits and existing hybrids.
Extensive experiments include tasks like classifying semiconductor quantum-dot charge states and predicting genomic transcription factor binding sites, demonstrating robust performance even under realistic IBM quantum noise simulations.
The study establishes a theoretically sound and practically robust framework, advancing quantum-enhanced learning for unconventional computing paradigms in the Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum era and beyond.
