Quantum machine learning offers significant quantum advantages over classical machine learning across various domains. Specifically, generative adversarial networks have been recognized for their potential utility in diverse fields such as image generation, finance, and probability distribution modeling. However, these networks necessitate solutions for inherent challenges like mode collapse. In this study, we capitalize on the concept that the estimation of mutual information between high-dimensional continuous random variables can be achieved through gradient descent using neural networks. We introduce a novel approach named InfoQGAN, which employs the Mutual Information Neural Estimator (MINE) within the framework of quantum generative adversarial networks to tackle the mode collapse issue. Furthermore, we elaborate on how this approach can be applied to a financial scenario, specifically addressing the problem of generating portfolio return distributions through dynamic asset allocation. This illustrates the potential practical applicability of InfoQGAN in real-world contexts. △ Less
