The paper presents a formal analysis of the quotient geometry of tree tensor networks (TTNs) and introduces efficient first- and second-order optimization algorithms that leverage this geometry. It also develops a backpropagation method for training TTNs in a kernel learning context. Numerical experiments on a digit classification task demonstrate a tradeoff between two horizontal distributions: one provides clearer geometric insights, while the other yields more efficient algorithms.
The paper introduces a quantum tensor network learning framework that employs matrix product states (MPS) as a machine‑learning architecture, adding a global normalization condition to interpret the MPS as a quantum state. It compares two optimization strategies—gradient descent and a DMRG‑adapted method—to identify locally optimal tensors and evaluates their effectiveness.
The paper introduces Tensor Network-based Quantum Data Encoding (TNQE), a framework that uses structured unitary tensor network representations to encode classical data into quantum states efficiently. TNQE decomposes each input into tensor cores and compiles them into encoding circuits via two core-to-circuit strategies, with learnable block unitaries ensuring trainability while maintaining unitarity. The method achieves significantly shallower circuits—down to 0.04× the depth of amplitude encoding—and scales to high‑resolution images, demonstrating practical feasibility on real quantum hardware.
