Overview of this book

Dancing with Python helps you learn Python and quantum computing in a practical way. It will help you explore how to work with numbers, strings, collections, iterators, and files. The book goes beyond functions and classes and teaches you to use Python and Qiskit to create gates and circuits for classical and quantum computing. Learn how quantum extends traditional techniques using the Grover Search Algorithm and the code that implements it. Dive into some advanced and widely used applications of Python and revisit strings with more sophisticated tools, such as regular expressions and basic natural language processing (NLP). The final chapters introduce you to data analysis, visualizations, and supervised and unsupervised machine learning. By the end of the book, you will be proficient in programming the latest and most powerful quantum computers, the Pythonic way.

15.8 Concepts of neural networks

Now let’s generalize what we just saw. We keep the three input nodes and call this the input layer. These feed into the hidden layer, and the results are in the output layer.

Neural network with 3 inputs, 4 hidden nodes, and 2 outputs
Figure 15.15: Neural network with 3 inputs, 4 hidden nodes, and 2 outputs

Processing in a neural network moves from left to right, and we call this the “forward direction.”

Figure 15.15 shows the three input nodes, four nodes in the hidden layer, and two output nodes. I’ve also shown the weights wi,1 for the input nodes going to the first hidden node h1. We also have weights relating the input nodes to h2, h3, and h4, and relating those to the output nodes. I have not shown them to keep the diagram less cluttered.

Another name for a node is neuron, and Figure 15.15 shows a neural network. More precisely, this is ...
