| contents | We investigate the possibility to apply quantum machine learning techniques for data analysis, with particular regard to an interesting use-case in high-energy physics. We propose an anomaly detection algorithm based on a parametrized quantum circuit. This algorithm has been trained on a classical computer and tested with simulations as well as on real quantum hardware. Tests on NISQ devices have been performed with IBM quantum computers. For the execution on quantum hardware specific hardware driven adaptations have been devised and implemented. The quantum anomaly detection algorithm is able to detect simple anomalies like different characters in handwritten digits as well as more complex structures like anomalous patterns in the particle detectors produced by the decay products of long-lived particles produced at a collider experiment. For the high-energy physics application, performance is estimated in simulation only, as the quantum circuit is not simple enough to be executed on the available quantum hardware. This work demonstrates that it is possible to perform anomaly detection with quantum algorithms, however, as amplitude encoding of classical data is required for the task, due to the noise level in the available quantum hardware, current implementation cannot outperform classic anomaly detection algorithms based on deep neural networks. |
