Abstract:This paper presents a Consensus-based Distributed Quantum Kernel Learning (CDQKL) framework aimed at improving speech recognition through distributed quantum computing.CDQKL addresses the challenges of scalability and data privacy in centralized quantum kernel learning. It does this by distributing computational tasks across quantum terminals, which are connected through classical channels. This approach enables the exchange of model parameters without sharing local training data, thereby maintaining data privacy and enhancing computational efficiency. Experimental evaluations on benchmark speech emotion recognition datasets demonstrate that CDQKL achieves competitive classification accuracy and scalability compared to centralized and local quantum kernel learning models. The distributed nature of CDQKL offers advantages in privacy preservation and computational efficiency, making it suitable for data-sensitive fields such as telecommunications, automotive, and finance. The findings suggest that CDQKL can effectively leverage distributed quantum computing for large-scale machine-learning tasks.
Abstract:The escalating impacts of climate change and the increasing demand for sustainable development and natural resource management necessitate innovative technological solutions. Quantum computing (QC) has emerged as a promising tool with the potential to revolutionize these critical areas. This review explores the application of quantum machine learning and optimization techniques for climate change prediction and enhancing sustainable development. Traditional computational methods often fall short in handling the scale and complexity of climate models and natural resource management.

The integration of these quantum technologies promises to drive significant advancements in achieving climate resilience and sustainable development.
Abstract:Achieving high-performance computation on quantum systems presents a formidable challenge that necessitates bridging the capabilities between quantum hardware and classical computing resources. This study introduces an innovative distribution-aware Quantum-Classical-Quantum (QCQ) architecture, which integrates cutting-edge quantum software framework works with high-performance classical computing resources to address challenges in quantum simulation for materials and condensed matter physics. At the heart of this architecture is the seamless integration of VQE algorithms running on QPUs for efficient quantum state preparation, Tensor Network states, and QCNNs for classifying quantum states on classical hardware. For benchmarking quantum simulators, the QCQ architecture utilizes the cuQuantum SDK to leverage multi-GPU acceleration, integrated with PennyLane's Lightning plugin, demonstrating up to tenfold increases in computational speed for complex phase transition classification tasks compared to traditional CPU-based methods. This significant acceleration enables models such as the transverse field Ising and XXZ systems to accurately predict phase transitions with a 99.5% accuracy. The architecture's ability to distribute computation between QPUs and classical resources addresses critical bottlenecks in Quantum-HPC, paving the way for scalable quantum simulation. The QCQ framework embodies a synergistic combination of quantum algorithms, machine learning, and Quantum-HPC capabilities, enhancing its potential to provide transformative insights into the behavior of quantum systems across different scales. As quantum hardware continues to improve, this hybrid distribution-aware framework will play a crucial role in realizing the full potential of quantum computing by seamlessly integrating distributed quantum resources with the state-of-the-art classical computing infrastructure.
