Abstract

Quantum computers can potentially perform certain types of optimisation problems much more efficiently than classical computers, making them a promising tool for solving complex fuzzy logic problems. In two recent developments, based on solving Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) problems on a type of quantum computers known as quantum annealers, we have introduced novel representations of a) fuzzy sets; b) implementations of some basic fuzzy logic operators (union, intersection, alpha-cut and maximum) and; c) the centroid defuzzification. In this paper, the previous works are further extended by presenting an implementation of Mamdani inference on the quantum annealer machines. We first present how the fuzzy rules can be formulated for such an implementation, then we present how to cascade different quantum-fuzzy operators in order to implement the quantum-fuzzy inference, and finally, a sample implementation of the inference on a real quantum computer is demonstrated. Having the main components of a rule-based fuzzy logic system implemented on quantum computers, this paper provides an integrated solution for implementing a whole fuzzy rule-based system on quantum computers.
