Erratum to “Quantum Algorithm for Mining Frequent Patterns for Association Rule Mining” [Journal of Quantum Information Science 13 (2023) 1-23]

Abstract

The original online version of this article (Abdirahman Alasow, Marek Perkowski (2023) Quantum Algorithm for Mining Frequent Patterns for Association Rule Mining. Journal of Quantum Information Science, 13, 1-23. https://doi.org/10.4236/jqis.2023.131001 unfortunately contains a mistake. The authors would like to clarify that Figure 11 and Figure 13 in our paper use a variant of diffusion quantum circuit that is not a standard Grover diffusion operator for the Boolean oracles and the phase oracles of L.K. Grover as presented in [1] - [3] . However, this variant of diffusion quantum circuit in those figures is the same as the quantum diffuser proposed by [4] , which is the so-called “controlled-diffusion operator”.
