Today, Google published the following paper:<\/p>\n
TensorFlow Quantum: A Software Framework for Quantum Machine Learning, https:\/\/arxiv.org\/abs\/2003.02989<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
TensorFlow Quantum<\/a> is software for doing Quantum Bayesian Networks. QB nets have been a dream of mine for 24 years, although Google’s paper, despite having 20 authors and 129 references, never cites any of my work. When I first had the idea of Quantum Bayesian Networks, I thought it was such a cool idea that, within a span of a year, I published a paper<\/a>, filed for a patent<\/a> and wrote a computer program called Quantum Fog<\/a> about it (The original Quantum Fog was for the Mac. It was written in C++, with the GUI written using a C++ class library called PowerPlant. Much later, I re-wrote Quantum Fog in Python<\/a> and released it as open source at github).<\/p>\n
It was the first paper<\/a> I ever posted on arXiv, and the first patent<\/a> I ever filed, and the first and last \ud83d\ude42 Macintosh program I ever wrote. The patent expired on 2016-01-11, but Google Tensorflow was first released to the public on Nov 2015<\/a>, so maybe I can sue them for 5 bucks? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
My blog, now 12 years old, is called Quantum Bayesian Networks<\/a> for a reason: my intense passion and belief in this dream of mine.<\/p>\n
Note that Tensorflow Quantum is a Tensorflow implementation of an earlier Google software called TensorNetwork<\/a>. I am glad that they are now calling it Tensorflow instead of TensorNetwork. The word TensorNetwork implies an undirected graph whereas the word TensorFlow implies an acyclic directed graph (DAG). I wrote an earlier post about Google’s TensorNetwork software<\/p>\n
