This project is divided in two parts:
- Utilizing Neural Networks to sort signal from background processes in high energy particle collisions
- Utilizing variational circuits, also called Quantum Neural Networks, to do the same task
This is a special curriculum project at UiO. The task to sort signal from background processes is from the Higgs boson Machine Learning challenge from 2014.
Part 1 used the Python library TensorFlow and sci-kit learn to make the Neural Network.
Part 2 used the Python library Qiskit to simulate a quantum circuit to do quantum machine learning.
The results and full project is in the pfd file. Enjoy!
