This paper combines quantum computation with classical neural network theory to produce a quantum computational learning algorithm. Quantum computation (QC) uses microscopic quantum level effects to perform computational tasks and has produced results that in some cases are exponentially faster than their classical counterparts, The unique characteristics of quantum theory may also be used to create a quantum associative memory (QuAM) with a capacity exponential in the number of neurons. This paper combines two quantum computational algorithms to produce such a quantum associative memory. The result is an exponential increase in the capacity of the memory when compared to traditional associative memories such as the Hopfield network. The paper covers necessary high-level quantum mechanical and quantum computational ideas and introduces a QuAM. Theoretical analysis proves the utility of the memory, and it is noted that a small version should be physically realizable in the near future. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science Inc.
