Implementation Guidelines and Innovations in Quantum LSTM Networks (2406.08982v2)

Abstract: The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence has driven interest in Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks for their effectiveness in processing sequential data. However, traditional LSTMs are limited by issues such as the vanishing gradient problem and high computational demands. Quantum computing offers a potential solution to these challenges, promising advancements in computational efficiency through the unique properties of qubits, such as superposition and entanglement. This paper presents a theoretical analysis and an implementation plan for a Quantum LSTM (qLSTM) model, which seeks to integrate quantum computing principles with traditional LSTM networks. While the proposed model aims to address the limitations of classical LSTMs, this study focuses primarily on the theoretical aspects and the implementation framework. The actual architecture and its practical effectiveness in enhancing sequential data processing remain to be developed and demonstrated in future work.
