Self-adaptive physics-informed quantum machine learning for solving differential equations by Abhishek Setty, Rasul Abdusalamov, Felix Motzoi

“…In particular, we propose in the quantum setting a modified Self-Adaptive Physics-Informed Neural Network approach, where self-adaptive weights are applied to problems with multi-objective loss functions. We further explore capturing correlations in our loss function using a quantum-correlated measurement, resulting in improved accuracy for initial value problems. …”
