Applying a Parameterized Quantum Circuit to Anomaly Detection by Jehn-Ruey Jiang, Jyun-Sian Li

“…In this study, a parameterized quantum circuit (PQC) is applied for anomaly detection, a crucial process to identify unusual patterns or outliers in data. PQC is a quantum circuit with trainable parameters linked to quantum gates, which are iteratively optimized by classical optimizers to ensure that the circuit’s output fulfills its objectives. …”
