With rapid advancements in AI and machine learning, coupled with significant progress in quantum computing, quantum machine learning is emerging as a revolutionary field. Quantum computers excel at solving complex problems that challenge classical systems, leveraging quantum algorithms for efficient computation. This progress unlocks vast opportunities across nearly all aspects of modern life.
In traditional quantum mechanics, the tensor product is used to construct multiparticle states and define operators acting on them, serving as a notational tool to separate the Hilbert spaces of different particles. Alternatively, the geometric algebra framework provides a unique representation of the tensor product through the geometric product, utilizing multivectors. Unlike tensor products, which lack an intuitive geometric interpretation, the geometric product and k-vectors (such as points, lines, planes, and volumes) offer a clear visualization. Moreover, entangled quantum states can be reinterpreted as k-vectors, representing structured collections of geometric shapes—including vectors, lines, planes, volumes, hyperplanes, and hypervolumes. For a deeper exploration of quantum theory within the geometric algebra framework, refer to E. Bayro-Corrochano’s Geometric Algebra Applications Vol. III: Integral Transforms, Machine Learning, and Quantum Computing (Springer Verlag, 2024).
Quantum machine learning is an evolving field that integrates quantum computing with machine learning methodologies. In this lecture, we will explore the core principles of quantum machine learning within the framework of geometric algebra. Furthermore, we will examine advanced algorithms, including the Quantum Quaternion Fourier Transform, Geometric Algebra Quantum Convolutional Neural Networks, and the Geometric Fuzzy Inference Engine for robotic decision-making.
