For the input quantum state $\\rho_{in}$ of the $N$ qubit system (here we use the density operator representation of quantum mechanics to describe the mixed state), first use the encoder $E = U(\\theta)$ to encode information into some of the qubits in the system. This part of qubits is denoted by **system $A$**. After measuring and discarding the remaining qubits (this part is denoted by **system $B$**), we get the compressed quantum state $\\rho_{encode}$! The dimension of the compressed quantum state is the same as the dimension of the quantum system $A$. Suppose we need $N_A$ qubits to describe the system $A$, then the dimension of the encoded quantum state $\\rho_{encode}$ is $2^{N_A}\\times 2^{N_A}$. Note that the mathematical operation corresponding to the measure-and-discard operation in this step is partial trace. The reader can intuitively treat it as the inverse operation of the tensor product $\\otimes$.\n", "\n", "Let us look at a specific example. Given a quantum state $\\rho_A$ of $N_A$ qubits and another quantum state $\\rho_B$ of $N_B$ qubits, the quantum state of the entire quantum system composed of subsystems $A$ and $B$ is $\\rho_{AB} = \\rho_A \\otimes \\rho_B$, which is a state of $N = N_A + N_B$ qubits. Now we let the entire quantum system evolve under the action of the unitary matrix $U$ for some time to get a new quantum state $\\tilde{\\rho_{AB}} = U\\rho_{AB}U^\\dagger$. So if we only want to get the new quantum state $\\tilde{\\rho_A}$ of quantum subsystem A at this time, what should we do? We simply measure the quantum subsystem $B$ and then discard it. This step of the operation is completed by partial trace $\\tilde{\\rho_A} = \\text{Tr}_B (\\tilde{\\rho_{AB}})$. With Paddle Quantum, we can call the built-in function `partial_trace(rho_AB, 2**N_A, 2**N_B, 2)` to complete this operation. **Note:** The last parameter is 2, which means that we want to discard quantum system $B$.\n", "\n", "![QA-fig-encoder_pipeline](./figures/QA-fig-encoder_pipeline.png)\n", "\n", "After discussing the encoding process, let us take a look at how decoding is done. To decode the quantum state $\\rho_{encode}$, we need to introduce an ancillary system $C$ with the same dimension as the system $B$ and take its initial state as the $|0\\dots0\\rangle$ state. Then use the decoder $D = U^\\dagger(\\theta)$ to act on the entire quantum system $A+C$ to decode the compressed information in system A. We hope that the final quantum state $\\rho_{out}$ and $\\rho_{in}$ are as similar as possible and use Uhlmann-Josza fidelity $F$ to measure the similarity between them.\n", "\n", "$$\n", "F(\\rho_{in}, \\rho_{out}) = \\left(\\operatorname{tr} \\sqrt{\\sqrt{\\rho_{in}} \\rho_{out} \\sqrt{\\rho_{in}}} \\right)^{2}.\n", "\\tag{1}\n", "$$\n", "\n", "Finally, by optimizing the encoder's parameters, we can improve the fidelity of $\\rho_{in}$ and $\\rho_{out}$ as much as possible." ] }, { "cell_type": "markdown", "metadata": {}, "source": [ "## Paddle Quantum Implementation\n", "\n", "Next, we will use a simple example to show the workflow of the quantum autoencoder.
