RT Journal Article T1 Speeding up quantum perceptron via shortcuts to adiabaticity A1 Ban, Yue A1 Chen, Xi A1 Torrontegui Muñoz, Erik A1 Solano, Enrique A1 Casanova, Jorge AB The quantum perceptron is a fundamental building block for quantum machine learning. This is a multidisciplinary field that incorporates abilities of quantum computing, such as state superposition and entanglement, to classical machine learning schemes. Motivated by the techniques of shortcuts to adiabaticity, we propose a speed-up quantum perceptron where a control field on the perceptron is inversely engineered leading to a rapid nonlinear response with a sigmoid activation function. This results in faster overall perceptron performance compared to quasi-adiabatic protocols, as well as in enhanced robustness against imperfections in the controls.
