On the Design of Quantum Graph Convolutional Neural Network in the NISQ-Era and Beyond

The rapid growth in the size of Graph Convolutional Neural Networks (GCNs) encounters both computational- and memory-wall on classical computing platforms (e.g., CPU, GPU, FPGA, etc.). Quantum computing, on the other hand, provides extremely high parallelism for computation. Although quantum neural networks have been recently studied, the research on quantum graph neural networks is still in its infancy. The key challenge here is how to integrate both the graph topology information and the learning ability of GCNs into quantum circuits. In this work, we leverage the Givens rotations and its quantum implementation to encode graph information; in addition, we employ the widely used variational quantum circuit to bring the learnable parameters. On top of these, we present a full-quantum design of Graph Convolutional Neural Networks, namely "QuGCN", for semi-supervised learning on graph-structured data. Experiment results show our design is competitive with classical GCNs in terms of node classification accuracy on Cora sub-dataset. More importantly, we show the potential advantages that can be achieved by the proposed quantum GCN design when the number of features grows.
