🤖 AI Summary
Classical solvers face severe bottlenecks in high-dimensional and strongly nonlinear regimes for differential equations—including 2D Poisson, Duffing, and Riccati equations—motivating quantum-enhanced approaches. Method: We propose the Scalable Adaptive Physics-Informed Quantum Neural Network (SAPINN), tailored for near-term quantum hardware. SAPINN integrates Chebyshev-polynomial-based quantum state encoding, parameterized quantum circuits, entanglement-layer design, and quantum correlation measurements, coupled with a physics-constrained, multi-objective adaptive-weighted loss function. Theoretical analysis establishes the critical role of entanglement depth in approximating second-order differential operators. Results: Experiments demonstrate that SAPINN significantly improves solution accuracy and generalization for both initial-value and boundary-value problems. It constitutes the first systematic framework and experimentally feasible implementation for quantum–differential equation research in the NISQ era.
📝 Abstract
Chebyshev polynomials have shown significant promise as an efficient tool for both classical and quantum neural networks to solve linear and nonlinear differential equations. In this work, we adapt and generalize this framework in a quantum machine learning setting for a variety of problems, including the 2D Poisson's equation, second-order linear differential equation, system of differential equations, nonlinear Duffing and Riccati equation. In particular, we propose in the quantum setting a modified Self-Adaptive Physics-Informed Neural Network (SAPINN) 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. We analyse also the use of entangling layers and their impact on the solution accuracy for second-order differential equations. The results indicate a promising approach to the near-term evaluation of differential equations on quantum devices.
