Quantum Graph Neural Network
Quantum Graph Neural Networks (QGNNs) combine the power of graph neural networks (GNNs) for analyzing relational data with the potential computational speedup of quantum computing. Current research focuses on developing and evaluating various QGNN architectures, including those based on quantum convolutional networks and variational quantum circuits, often applied to tasks like semi-supervised learning and material property prediction. This burgeoning field aims to overcome the limitations of classical GNNs in handling large datasets and complex relationships, with applications spanning diverse domains such as high-energy physics, drug discovery, and finance. The ultimate goal is to demonstrate a "quantum advantage" – a significant performance improvement over classical methods – for specific graph-based problems.
