Neural Circuit Parameter Prediction for Efficient Quantum Data Loading

Quantum machine learning (QML) has demonstrated the potential to outperform classical machine learning algorithms in various fields. However, encoding classical data into quantum states, known as quantum data loading, remains a challenge. Existing methods achieve high accuracy in loading single data, but lack efficiency for large-scale data loading tasks. In this work, we propose Neural Circuit Parameter Prediction, a novel method that leverages classical deep neural networks to predict the parameters of parameterized quantum circuits directly from the input data. This approach benefits from the batch inference capability of neural networks and improves the accuracy of quantum data loading. We introduce real-valued parameterization of quantum circuits and a three-phase training strategy to further enhance training efficiency and accuracy. Experimental results on MNIST dataset show that our method achieves a 17.31 % improvement in infidelity score and 108 times faster runtime compared to existing methods. Our approach provides an efficient solution for quantum data loading, enabling the practical deployment of QML algorithms on large-scale datasets.
