Solution Overview

Problem

Complex processes and systems with numerous variables require significant processing power for optimization, leading to delays in problem-solving, which impacts control and efficiency across various industries, and existing methods for data classification are not efficient enough to handle large datasets effectively.

Innovation Solution

A quantum classifier is created using a laser-based quantum circuit that traps neutral atoms in optical tweezers, where the laser controlling function is configured with unitary operations dependent on historical data features, weight values, and free parameters, allowing for the reduction of a cost function to optimize classification, and the classifier is iteratively refined until convergence criteria are met.

AI summary

A method for quantum classification and operation control includes radiating a vacuum chamber having an ensemble of neutral atoms with laser so as to trap atoms and form a quantum register. The method further includes the step of configuring a laser controlling function with M unitary operations based on a cost function for classification problems and a training dataset about a monitored target, radiating the ensemble of atoms accordingly, reading the quantum register, and setting a quantum classifier if the cost function with the values of the quantum register meet a condition, keep changing the laser controlling function and radiating the ensemble of atoms otherwise until a convergence condition is met, at which point the quantum classifier is set.
