Qiskit Machine Learning library suffers data loss impacting quantum neural networks

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A recent paper published on arXiv details a significant data loss issue within IBM's Qiskit Machine Learning library, specifically affecting the SamplerQNN class. This loss occurs because postprocessing routines, designed for simulators, make assumptions about qubit space that do not hold on larger quantum hardware. The issue leads to a substantial reduction in valid measurement shots, distorting prediction and loss values and impacting model training and inference accuracy. A fix has been implemented and merged into the GitHub codebase. AI

IMPACT Potential for improved accuracy and training sensitivity in quantum neural networks by addressing data loss in postprocessing.

    Impact of Data Loss in Postprocessing on Training and Inference of Quantum Neural Networks

    arXiv:2609.05060v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As quantum hardware scales to larger devices, the classical software layers that interface with it must evolve in step. Postprocessing routines developed and tested primarily in simulator settings can encode assumptions that no lo…
