Abstract


Presently, a plethora of neural network architectures, including Convolutional Neural Networks, Recurrent Neural Networks, Feedforward Neural Networks… have undergone significant advancements, effectively tackling a wide array of machine learning challenges. Nevertheless, these frameworks encounter substantial obstacles when addressing tasks involving voluminous data, often resulting in suboptimal precision or necessitating protracted computational durations. Therefore, this study proposed using a hybrid quantum neural framework that amalgamates classical machine learning paradigms with quantum computation. Quantum computation augments processing velocity and elevate precision through its capacity for parallel execution and the exploitation of distinctive quantum mechanical phenomena. In this investigation, we deployed the hybrid quantum neural framework by combining two platforms the PyTorch and Qiskit on the Visual Studio Code. Experimental results show that the model achieved accuracies of 98.5% and 93.3% in recognizing handwritten digits and letters, respectively, underscoring the transformative potential of hybrid quantum neural frameworks in complex recognition applications.
