Quantum neural networks model based on swap test and phase estimation

Abstract In this paper, a neural networks model for quantum computer is proposed. The core of this model is quantum neuron. Firstly, the inner product of the input qubits and the weight qubits is mapped to the phase of the control qubits in the neuron by the swap test technology, and then these phases are obtained by the phase estimation method, which are further used as the phase of the output qubit in the neuron. In this way, the mapping of input qubits to output qubit in quantum neuron is completed. The quantum neurons mentioned above can be used to construct quantum neural networks. In this paper, the quantum circuit for each operation step are given. The simulation results on the classic computer verify the effectiveness of the proposed model.
