Storage properties of a quantum perceptron

Driven by growing computational power and algorithmic developments, machine learning methods have become valuable tools for analyzing vast amounts of data. Simultaneously, the fast technological progress of quantum information processing suggests employing quantum hardware for machine learning purposes. Recent works discuss different architectures of quantum perceptrons, but the abilities of such quantum devices remain debated. Here, we investigate the storage capacity of a particular quantum perceptron architecture by using statistical mechanics techniques and connect our analysis to the theory of classical spin glasses. Specifically, we focus on one concrete quantum perceptron model and explore its storage properties in the limit of a large number of inputs.
