A core task in quantum anomaly detection is to compute an anomaly score that quantifies how strongly a test quantum state deviates from a given quantum dataset assumed to be normal. Classically, principal component analysis (PCA) for centered data computes the anomaly score by ev…
Canonical quantization provides a systematic procedure for constructing quantum models from classical Hamiltonians. Here, we apply this principle to a fundamental computational primitive of machine learning: the neuron. Specifically, by viewing a neuron as a composition of an ene…
