The paper introduces feed-forward neural networks where the hidden units employ orthogonal Hermite polynomials for their activation functions. The proposed neural networks have some interesting properties: (i) the basis functions are invariant under the Fourier transform, subject only to a change of scale, (ii) the basis functions are the eigenstates of the quantum harmonic oscillator, and stem from the solution of Schrödinger’s diffusion equation. The proposed feed-forward neural networks belong to the general category of nonparametric estimators and can be used for function approximation, system modelling and image processing.

Neural computation based on principles of quantum mechanics can provide improved models of memory processes and brain functioning and is of primary importance for the realization of quantum computing machines. To this end, this chapter studies neural structures with weights that follow the model of the quantum harmonic oscillator. The proposed neural networks have stochastic weights which are calculated from the solution of Schrödingers equation under the assumption of a parabolic (harmonic) potential. These weights correspond to diffusing particles, which interact with each other as the theory of Brownian motion (Wiener process) predicts. The learning of the stochastic weights (convergence of the diffusing particles to an equilibrium) is analyzed. In the case of associative memories the proposed neural model results in an exponential increase of patterns storage capacity (number of attractors). It is also shown that conventional neural networks and learning algorithms based on error gradient can be conceived as a subset of the proposed quantum neural structures. Thus, the complementarity between classical and quantum physics is also validated in the field of neural computation.

The main result of the paper is the use of orthogonal Hermite polynomials as the basis functions of feedforward neural networks. The proposed neural networks have some interesting properties: (i) the basis functions are invariant under the Fourier transform, subject only to a change of scale, (ii) the basis functions are the eigenstates of the quantum harmonic oscillator, and stem from the solution of Schrödinger's diffusion equation. The proposed feed-forward neural networks demonstrate the particle-wave nature of information and can be used in nonparametric estimation. Possible applications of the proposed neural networks include function approximation, image processing and system modelling.

Quantum non-Markovianity and quantum Darwinism are two phenomena linked by a common theme: the flux of quantum information between a quantum system and the quantum environment it interacts with. In this work, making use of a quantum collision model, a formalism initiated by Sudarshan and his school, we will analyse the efficiency with which the information about a single qubit gained by a quantum harmonic oscillator, acting as a meter, is transferred to a bosonic environment. We will show how, in some regimes, such quantum information flux is inefficient, leading to the simultaneous emergence of non-Markovian and non-darwinistic behaviours.
