The power of entanglement in distributed quantum machine learning

The quantum internet aims to interconnect distant devices and enable large-scale computation through distributed quantum algorithms. One of the key obstacles is communication latency during computation. Even separations of a few hundred kilometers introduce millisecond-scale delays, which exceed the coherence times of many solid-state qubit platforms. In contrast, entanglement can be established beforehand and used as a practical resource to reduce communication complexity between remote nodes. Here we examine the utility of entanglement in distributed quantum machine learning for binary classification tasks. Drawing an analogy with the CHSH game, we show that entanglement improves classification accuracy across all datasets considered. We also find that excessive entanglement may degrade performance by reducing the effective dimension of the parameter space. This highlights the importance of using an appropriate amount and structure of entanglement in data embedding. Our findings bridge nonlocality and machine-learning advantage, providing a pathway toward distributed quantum computation beyond coherence-time constraints.

Distributed quantum machine learning via classical communication

Quantum machine learning is emerging as a promising application of quantum computing due to its distinct way of encoding and processing data. It is believed that large-scale quantum machine learning demonstrates substantial advantages over classical counterparts, but a reliable scale-up is hindered by the fragile nature of quantum systems. Here we present an experimentally accessible distributed quantum machine learning scheme that integrates quantum processor units via classical communication. As a demonstration, we perform data classification tasks on 8-dimensional synthetic datasets by emulating two 4-qubit processors and employing quantum convolutional neural networks. Our results indicate that incorporating classical communication notably improves classification accuracy compared to schemes without communication. Furthermore, at the tested circuit depths, we observe that the accuracy with classical communication is no less than that achieved with quantum communication. Our work provides a practical path to demonstrating large-scale quantum machine learning on intermediate-scale quantum processors by leveraging classical communication that can be implemented through currently available mid-circuit measurements.
