Differentiable generative modelling using a hybrid computer including a quantum processor

Disclosed is an approach for learning probability distributions as differentiable quantum circuits (DQC) that enable efficient quantum generative modelling (QGM) and synthetic data generation. A method includes training of a differentiable quantum circuits (DCQ) based model, where data is encoded in a latent space with a phase feature map, followed by a variational quantum circuit. The trained model is then mapped to the bit basis using a fixed unitary transformation, coinciding with a quantum Fourier transform circuit in the simplest case. This allows fast sampling from parametrized distributions using a single-shot readout. Simplified latent space training provides models that are automatically differentiable. Samples from propagated stochastic differential equations (SDEs) can be accessed by solving a stationary Fokker-Planck equation and time-dependent Kolmogorov backward equation on a quantum computer. A route to multidimensional generative modelling is opened with qubit registers explicitly correlated via a (fixed) entangling layer.
