内容提要

The gradient descendent algorithm is an iterated optimization algorithm which finds a local minimum of a function by searching along the steepest descent direction of the function. The gradient descendent algorithm is a simple optimization method which has wide applications---a famous example being the backpropagation algorithm in the training of neural networks. In this talk, we discuss a quantum version of the gradient descendent algorithm. We first touch on the fundamentals of quantum mechanics, such as states, system variables, composite systems, partial trace and quantum measurement, then we discuss quantum Fourier transform which is key to quantum phase estimation; finally, we present the quantum gradient descendent algorithm.

梯度下降法是一个迭代优化算法,旨在沿函数的最速下降方向寻找函数的局部最小值。梯度下降法有着广泛的应用,比如,神经网络训练过程中的反向传播方法。在这一报告中,我们考虑梯度下降法的量子版本。首先,我们引入量子理学的一些基本概念:态、系统变量、复合系统、部分跟踪和量子测量。然后,我们讨论了量子傅立叶变换,这是量子相位估计的关键。最后,我们研究了量子梯度下降方法。
