Classification with Quantum Neural Networks on Near Term Processors
This work introduces a quantum neural network, QNN, that can represent labeled data, classical or quantum, and be trained by supervised learning, and shows through classical simulation that parameters can be found that allow the QNN to learn to correctly distinguish the two data sets.
