Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If vector representations of quantum states are used, then quantum model performance assessment is improved, but memory requirements scale exponentially with the number of qubits making simulation prohibitive
Solution Approach 1:
The quantum state is segmented into smaller tensor components that can be stored and manipulated separately. Instead of representing the full quantum state as a single exponential-sized vector, the state is decomposed into a network of smaller tensors whose combined information reconstructs the quantum state, reducing memory requirements from exponential to polynomial scaling.
Solution Approach 2:
The approach transitions from storing quantum states in a conventional vector space to representing them in a tensor network structure with additional dimensional organization. This dimensional reorganization allows efficient storage by exploiting the structure of quantum entanglement, where not all degrees of freedom are independently significant.
2Measurement precision
If conventional quantum-based machine-learning frameworks are used, then algorithm performance is improved, but algorithm scaling difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The quantum machine learning algorithm is segmented into modular components that can be independently optimized and scaled. The tensor network structure divides the computation into local tensor operations that can be parallelized and distributed, enabling scalable implementation without requiring exponential resources.
Solution Approach 2:
The approach changes the parameters of the quantum algorithm by using tensor network states with controlled bond dimensions. By adjusting the bond dimension parameter, one can control the trade-off between accuracy and computational cost, enabling scalable algorithms that maintain performance while adapting to available computational resources.
3Adaptability or versatility
If modern quantum computers are used, then quantum model solving capability is improved, but noise and environmental effects degrade learning performance
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of running algorithms directly on noisy quantum hardware, the approach creates a classical copy or simulation of the quantum system using tensor networks. This classical representation captures the essential quantum behavior while being immune to hardware noise, allowing reliable performance assessment and algorithm development before potential deployment on quantum devices.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide functionality to tensor network framework designed for quantum kernel methods and demonstration of tensor network effectiveness at scaling this application. Quantum kernels capture the distance between data points in quantum feature space by evaluating the quantum state overlaps associated with each data point. It has been found that expressing data in quantum feature space may produce more separable data that improves the results of linear classifiers. The different kernel elements may be computed independently, and parallel processing may be exploited to significantly reduce computational time, enabling to train on more data. Thus, quantum kernels continue to improve classification metrics with the addition of more training data and more features.
