Efficient learning algorithm for quantum perceptron unitary weights

For the past two decades, researchers have attempted to create a Quantum Neural Network (QNN) by combining the merits of quantum computing and neural computing. In order to exploit the advantages of the two prolific fields, the QNN must meet the non-trivial task of integrating the unitary dynamics of quantum computing and the dissipative dynamics of neural computing. At the core of quantum computing and neural computing lies the qubit and perceptron, respectively. We see that past implementations of the quantum perceptron model have failed to fuse the two elegantly. This was due to a slow learning rule and a disregard for the unitary requirement. In this paper, we present a quantum perceptron that can compute functions uncomputable by the classical perceptron while analytically solving for parameters and preserving the unitary and dissipative requirements.
