Would it be possible for you to expand this example to have an actual network use the quantum Neuron?

What is the purpose for a fixed seed?

[YutoMorohoshi]

To make it reproducible.
Is it not very common to fix seed?

Thanks for your comments.
At present, I do not think it is very practical to apply quantum neurons to real neural networks. This is because real neural networks are a combination of many neurons, and if we try to do the same thing with quantum neurons, I would expect the quantum circuits to be very deep.

+1 on Christian's request - we'd like to see an actual end-to-end use case here. It's fine if the usage is limited to simulators. Thanks!

Hello YutoTakaki, This PR has had little activity; I will close it for now. You are welcome to come back and work on it and reopen it any time. You can also consider developing this work further in a seperate repo of yours and highlighting it on in Braket Algorithm library "Community repos" section, which we recently added. I hope this helps.
