Custom Quantum Devices and their Use in a Neural Network at a Quantum Level

Peter Farag*

Current quantum computers are expensive and require professional equipment for their construction. The price of such computers varies depending on the number of qubits, with an average cost of $10,000 for a 2-qubit device. Therefore, the goal of this paper is to propose an affordable approach for building an optical quantum computer and demonstrate its utility by using the device as a quantum layer in a neural network for image analysis. The article outlines the construction of two devices: One with 1 qubit and another with 2 qubits. These devices were constructed using easily accessible materials that can be found in any shop. Furthermore, a library named WavePlate was developed for this project, which is publicly available for widespread use.
