Approximate Quantum Random Access Memory Architectures

Abstract

Quantum supremacy in many applications using well-known quantum algorithms rely on availability of data in quantum format. Quantum Random Access Memory (QRAM), an equivalent of classical Random Access Memory (RAM), fulfills this requirement. However, the existing QRAM proposals either require qutrit technology and/or incur access challenges. We propose an approximate Parametric Quantum Circuit (PQC) based QRAM which takes address lines as input and gives out the corresponding data in these address lines as the output. We present two applications of the proposed PQC-based QRAM namely, storage of binary data and storage of machine learning (ML) dataset for classification.
