Abstract
The capacity of classical neurocomputers islimited by the number of classical degrees of freedom,which is roughly proportional to the size of thecomputer. By contrast, a hypothetical quantumneurocomputer can implement an exponentially larger number ofthe degrees of freedom within the same size. In thispaper an attempt is made to reconcile the linearreversible structure of quantum evolution with nonlinear irreversible dynamics for neuralnets.
