Abstract
This paper explores the potential of fault-tolerant quantum computing to improve the efficiency of training large machine learning models. The authors demonstrate that for sufficiently dissipative and sparse models, a quantum algorithm can achieve a time complexity of O(T² x polylog(n)), where n is the model size and T is the number of training iterations. This is achieved by adapting quantum algorithms for dissipative differential equations to solve the stochastic gradient descent problem. Numerical experiments on models with parameters ranging from 7 million to 103 million show that quantum enhancement is possible in the early stages of training after model pruning, suggesting a sparse parameter download and re-upload scheme.
