Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) are widely recognised as powerful tools for solving partial differential
equations (PDEs) by embedding physical laws directly into neural network architectures. Yet, classical PINN models
often require a very large number of parameters to reach acceptable accuracy, making them computationally demanding
especially for complex PDEs.
To address this challenge, Afrah Farea, a PhD candidate has introduced the Quantum-Classical Physics-Informed Neural
Network (QCPINN), a framework that integrates quantum and classical computing components. This approach enables the
solution of PDEs with significantly fewer parameters, while maintaining accuracy and convergence rates comparable to
classical PINNs.
The full implementation is available open-source on
GitHub.
