Abstract
In a paper on quantum neural networks, Zhou and Ding (Int. J. Theor. Phys. 46(12):3209-3215 ([2007])) proposed a new model of quantum perceptron denoted quantum M-P neural network and showed its functionality by an example. In this letter, we show that the proposed learning algorithm does not follow an unitary evolution and the proposed neuron can be efficiently simulated by a classical single layer neural network.
