QCF, A useful tool for Quantum Neural Network implementation in Matlab

Abstract

Most proposals for quantum neural networks have skipped over the implementation of the Qubit, superposition, entanglement and measurement in order to be used in MATLAB environment. Quantum computing uses unitary operators acting on discrete state vectors. Matlab is a well-known (classical) matrix computing environment, which makes it well suited for simulating quantum algorithms. The Quantum Computing Function (QCF) library extends Matlab by adding functions to represent and visualize common quantum operations. On the other hand a new mathematical model of computation called Quantum Neural Networks (QNNs) is defined, building on Deutsch's model of quantum computational network. The Quantum Neural Network (QNN) model began in order to combine quantum computing with the striking properties of neural computing. In this paper the use and importance of those functions is illustrated with the help of few examples. This paper presents a brief overview of QCF that how it can be useful in Quantum Neural Network simulation.
