LANL Researchers Show Some Quantum Learning Models Are Classically Simulable
As proposed and demonstrated by the Los Alamos team, the architectures and techniques proposed to mitigate or altogether avoid barren plateaus in variational quantum computing make them classically simulable. Courtesy/LANL
LANL News:
Variational quantum computing is a hybrid quantum-classical approach that has emerged as one of the most promising applications for quantum devices. But this approach is hindered by the “barren plateau” phenomenon, which undermines the approach’s machine learning training capabilities. As a team of Los Alamos researchers suggest in a recent perspective Read More
