| 21 | +\section{Introduction to Quantum Boltzmann Machines (QBMs)} |
| 22 | +Quantum Boltzmann Machines (QBMs) are a quantum generalization of classical Boltzmann machines. They leverage quantum effects such as superposition and entanglement to model complex probability distributions. QBMs are well-suited for quantum machine learning tasks, particularly for generative modeling. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +\subsection{Motivation} |
| 25 | +Classical Boltzmann Machines suffer from high-dimensional sampling complexity. Quantum mechanics offers exponential state space and quantum tunneling effects that can alleviate these issues. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +\subsection{Key Concepts} |
| 28 | +\begin{itemize} |
| 29 | + \item Quantum States as Probability Distributions |
| 30 | + \item Quantum Tunneling for Escaping Local Minima |
| 31 | + \item Exponential State Space in Quantum Systems |
| 32 | +\end{itemize} |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +%----------------------------------------------------------- |
| 35 | +\section{Mathematical Framework} |
| 36 | +\subsection{Hamiltonian of a Quantum Boltzmann Machine} |
| 37 | +The quantum analog of the classical energy-based model is expressed by the Hamiltonian \( H \): |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +\begin{equation} |
| 40 | + H = H_Z + H_X, |
| 41 | +\end{equation} |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +where: |
| 44 | +\begin{align} |
| 45 | + H_Z &= -\sum_{i} b_i Z_i - \sum_{i<j} w_{ij} Z_i Z_j, \\[5pt] |
| 46 | + H_X &= -\sum_i \Gamma_i X_i. |
| 47 | +\end{align} |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +\begin{itemize} |
| 50 | + \item \( Z_i \) and \( X_i \) are Pauli operators acting on the \( i \)-th qubit. |
| 51 | + \item \( b_i \) represents the bias terms. |
| 52 | + \item \( w_{ij} \) represents the interaction between qubits. |
| 53 | + \item \( \Gamma_i \) is the transverse field strength. |
| 54 | +\end{itemize} |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +%----------------------------------------------------------- |
| 57 | +\subsection{Density Matrix and Boltzmann Distribution} |
| 58 | +The quantum Boltzmann distribution is defined by the density matrix: |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +\begin{equation} |
| 61 | + \rho = \frac{e^{-\beta H}}{Z}, |
| 62 | +\end{equation} |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +where: |
| 65 | +\begin{itemize} |
| 66 | + \item \( \beta = 1/k_B T \) is the inverse temperature. |
| 67 | + \item \( Z = \Tr(e^{-\beta H}) \) is the partition function. |
| 68 | +\end{itemize} |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +In the classical case, this reduces to a Gibbs distribution. |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +%----------------------------------------------------------- |
| 73 | +\section{Training Quantum Boltzmann Machines} |
| 74 | +\subsection{Objective Function} |
| 75 | +The goal of training a QBM is to minimize the Kullback–Leibler (KL) divergence between the data distribution \( p_{\text{data}} \) and the model distribution \( p_{\theta} \): |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +\begin{equation} |
| 78 | + \mathcal{L}(\theta) = \text{KL}(p_{\text{data}} || p_{\theta}) = \sum_x p_{\text{data}}(x) \log \frac{p_{\text{data}}(x)}{p_{\theta}(x)}. |
| 79 | +\end{equation} |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +\subsection{Gradient-Based Optimization} |
| 82 | +The gradient of the loss function is computed using: |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +\begin{equation} |
| 85 | + \nabla_\theta \mathcal{L}(\theta) = \mathbb{E}_{p_{\text{data}}}[\nabla_\theta E(x)] - \mathbb{E}_{p_{\theta}}[\nabla_\theta E(x)], |
| 86 | +\end{equation} |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +where \( E(x) \) is the energy function derived from the Hamiltonian. |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +%----------------------------------------------------------- |
| 91 | +\section{Quantum Sampling Techniques} |
| 92 | +\subsection{Quantum Monte Carlo Methods} |
| 93 | +Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulates quantum systems by sampling from the quantum density matrix using classical resources. However, it faces limitations due to the **sign problem**. |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +\subsection{Quantum Annealing} |
| 96 | +Quantum annealers leverage adiabatic evolution to reach low-energy states efficiently: |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +\begin{equation} |
| 99 | + H(t) = (1 - t/T) H_B + (t/T) H_P, |
| 100 | +\end{equation} |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +where: |
| 103 | +\begin{itemize} |
| 104 | + \item \( H_B \) is the mixing Hamiltonian. |
| 105 | + \item \( H_P \) is the problem Hamiltonian. |
| 106 | +\end{itemize} |
| 107 | + |
| 108 | +%----------------------------------------------------------- |
| 109 | +\section{Advantages and Challenges} |

| 122 | +\end{itemize} |
| 123 | + |

| 130 | + \item Quantum Chemistry |
| 131 | + \item Financial Modeling |
