Abstract
En 中文
Recently, a quantum algorithm for a fundamentally important task in data mining, association rules mining (ARM), called qARM for short, has been proposed. Notably, qARM achieves significant speedup over its classical counterpart for implementing the main task of ARM, i.e., finding frequent itemsets from a transaction database. In this paper, we experimentally implement qARM on both real quantum computers and a quantum computing simulator via the IBM quantum computing platform. In the first place, we design quantum circuits of qARM for a 2 x 2 transaction database (i.e., a transaction database involving two transactions and two items), and run it on four real five-qubit IBM quantum computers as well as on the simulator. For a larger 4 x 4 transaction database which would lead to circuits with more qubits and a higher depth than the currently accessible IBM real quantum devices can handle, we also construct the quantum circuits of qARM and execute them on aer_simulator alone. Both experimental results show that all the frequent itemsets from the two transaction databases are successfully derived as desired, demonstrating the correctness and feasibility of qARM. Our work may serve as a benchmarking, and provide prototypes for implementing qARM for larger transaction databases on both noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices and universal fault-tolerant quantum computers.
