Quantum Machine Learning – An Introduction to QGANs
May 27, 2021 by
In this contributed article, data scientists from Sigmoid discuss quantum machine learning and provide an introduction to QGANs. Quantum GANs which use a quantum generator or discriminator or both is an algorithm of similar architecture developed to run on Quantum systems. The quantum advantage of various algorithms is impeded by the assumption that data can be loaded to quantum states. However this can be achieved for specific but not generic data.
