Description
Summary:While quantum computing is already being employed in different domains to solve large scale and highly complex optimization problems, the wireless communications community has only recently begun exploring the potential of Quantum Machine Learning (QML). This paper provides a reference design approach that allows the wireless community to effectively leverage QML in optimizing their own wireless communications networks. Such an approach will become increasingly valuable as quantum computing matures and conventional computing methods reach their practical limits due to the high dimensionality of optimization problems. We present a detailed methodology enabling wireless communications practitioners to construct their own Quantum Neural Networks (QNN) implementations and benchmark their performance against conventional techniques. Optimization strategies for wireless communication channels using QNNs are explored. The resulting framework provides a generalizable, easy-to-adopt methodology for integrating QML into wireless networks, requiring minimal prior knowledge of quantum computing.
