Title:QonFusion -- Quantum Approaches to Gaussian Random Variables: Applications in Stable Diffusion and Brownian Motion
View PDFAbstract:In the present study, we delineate a strategy focused on non-parametric quantum circuits for the generation of Gaussian random variables (GRVs). This quantum-centric approach serves as a substitute for conventional pseudorandom number generators (PRNGs), such as the \textbf{this http URL} function in PyTorch. The principal theme of our research is the incorporation of Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNGs) into classical models of diffusion. Notably, our Quantum Gaussian Random Variable Generator fulfills dual roles, facilitating simulations in both Stable Diffusion (SD) and Brownian Motion (BM). This diverges markedly from prevailing methods that utilize parametric quantum circuits (PQCs), often in conjunction with variational quantum eigensolvers (VQEs). Although conventional techniques can accurately approximate ground states in complex systems or model elaborate probability distributions, they require a computationally demanding optimization process to tune parameters. Our non-parametric strategy obviates this necessity. To facilitate assimilating our methodology into existing computational frameworks, we put forward QonFusion, a Python library congruent with both PyTorch and PennyLane, functioning as a bridge between classical and quantum computational paradigms. We validate QonFusion through extensive statistical testing, including tests which confirm the statistical equivalence of the Gaussian samples from our quantum approach to classical counterparts within defined significance limits. QonFusion is available at \url{this https URL} to reproduce all findings here.
