Learning outcomes

The goal of this course is to show what benefits current and future quantum technologies can provide to machine learning, focusing on algorithms that are challenging with classical computers.
In particular, the students will be given the adequate notions and knowledge to be able to distinguish between quantum computing paradigms relevant for machine learning; identify problems in machine learning that would benefit from using quantum resources; implement learning algorithms on quantum computers using the available public platforms.

Program

The course will award 4 CFU (16 hours frontal lectures).
The following is the list of topics that will be discussed.

• Introduction to Quantum Systems
• Quantum Computation
• Gate Model
• Adiabatic Quantum Computing
• Variational Circuits
• Classical-Quantum Learning Algorithms
• Encoding Classical Information
• Quantum-enhanced Kernel Methods
• Quantum-Assisted Learning Algorithms
• Practice:
Implementation of some of the discussed methods on real quantum computers using Qiskit (https://www.qiskit.org)
For this tutorial you will need to install Qiskit locally, which requires Python 3.5+. Although it isn't required, we recommend using a virtual environment with Anaconda.
