Solution Overview

Problem

Existing quantum encoding strategies, such as phase and amplitude encoding, fail to preserve the fundamental properties or characteristics of classical data in quantum form, leading to a quantum information gap (QIG) that complicates the learning process of quantum machine learning models.

Innovation Solution

A quantum information preserving (QIP) loss function is introduced to minimize the quantum information gap by transforming classical features into quantum features, projecting them into logits, and calculating a loss function that minimizes the average Kullback-Leibler divergence between projected feature distributions, ensuring information preservation.

AI summary

A method, system, and computer program product for minimizing a quantum information gap. Classical features are projected into logits. Furthermore, quantum features are projected into logits using quantum center vectors. A loss function measuring how well a model's prediction aligns with true labels is calculated using the logits of the classical features and a set of labels. Furthermore, an expression is calculated that minimizes an average Kullback-Leibler divergence between projected feature distributions from two different modalities or sources using the logits of the classical features and the logits of the quantum features. Additionally, the quantum information preserving loss function used to train a model to minimize the quantum information gap is calculated using the loss function, the expression, and a loss factor. After training the model, the trained model produces a feature vector, which preserves the important information and patterns present in the original classical feature vector.
