Quantum Competitive Neural Network

Quantum Neural Network (QNN) is a fledging science built upon the combination of classical neural network and quantum computing. After analyzing of traditional competitive neural network, this paper firstly presents a Quantum Competitive Neural Network (QCNN) that can recognize patterns and classify patterns via quantum competition. Contrasting to the conventional competitive neural network, the storage capacity or memory capacity of the QCNN is exponentially increased by a factor of 2 (n) , where n is the number of qubit. The QCNN has no weights, does not need to learn and update weights, which accelerates the learning process of the network. Besides, the case analysis validates the feasibility and validity of the QCNN in this paper.
