Abstract
News editors obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors:“Field“This disclosure generally relates to systems, devices, methods, and articles for quantum computation,and, in particular, for quantum annealing, and for training Quantum Boltzmann Machines and RestrictedBoltzmann Machines, with applications, for example, in machine learning.“Boltzmann Machines“A Boltzmann machine is an implementation of a probabilistic graphical model that includes a graphwith undirected weighted edges between vertices. The vertices (also called units) follow stochastic decisionsabout whether to be in an “on” state or an “off” state. The stochastic decisions are based on the Boltzmanndistribution. Each vertex has a bias associated with the vertex. Training a Boltzmann machine includesdetermining the weights and the biases.
