An Efficient Quantum Circuit for Flow Model Execution Using Quantum Neural Networks

Wavefunction flow establishes a formal connection between flow models and quantum dynamics by introducing a continuity Hamiltonian, which drives the Schrödinger evolution of quantum states.

Key points

  • Flow matching learns this velocity field by modeling the transport dynamics between the two distributions.
  • In this paper, we investigate accurate and efficient quantum simulation of the wavefunction flow, thereby realizing the efficient implementation of flow models on quantum computers.
  • We first leverage a quantum read-only memory (QROM)-based phase kickback framework for the wavefunction flow simulation, generating probability densities that closely match those produced by the corresponding conventional flow model.
  • To address the high circuit-resource cost, we further incorporate a trained quantum neural network (QNN) into the phase kickback framework, replacing QROM for data encoding.
