Abstract

Deep learning is a modern approach to realize artificial intelligence. Many frameworks exist to implement the machine learning task; however, performance is limited by computing resources. Using a quantum computer to accelerate training is a promising approach. The variational quantum circuit (VQC) has gained a great deal of attention because it can be run on near-term quantum computers. In this paper, we establish a new framework that merges traditional machine learning tasks with the VQC. Users can implement a trainable quantum operation into a neural network. This framework enables the training of a quantum-classical hybrid task and may lead to a new area of quantum machine learning.
