Towards Hybrid Quantum-Classical Deep Learning Architecture for Indoor-Outdoor Detection Using QCNN-LSTM and Cluster State Signal Processing

Abstract

Quantum computing, combined with deep learning, leverages principles like superposition and entanglement to enhance complex data-driven tasks. The Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) era presents opportunities for hybrid quantum-classical architectures to address this challenge. Despite significant progress, practical applications of these hybrid models are limited. This letter proposes a novel hybrid quantum-classical deep learning architecture, integrating Quantum Convolutional Neural Networks (QCNNs) and Long-Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, enhanced by Cluster State Signal Processing. Furthermore, this letter addresses indoor-outdoor detection using high-dimensional signal data, utilizing the Cirq platform—a Python framework for developing and simulating Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) circuits on quantum computers and simulators. The approach addresses noise and decoherence issues. Preliminary results show that the QCNN-LSTM model outperforms pure quantum and hybrid models in accuracy and efficiency. This validates the practical benefits of hybrid architectures, paving the way for advancements in complex data classification like indoor-outdoor detection.
