abstract = {The development of generative models for quantum machine
learning has faced challenges such as trainability and
scalability. A notable example is the quantum restricted
Boltzmann machine (QRBM), where non-commuting Hamiltonians
make gradient evaluation computationally demanding, even on
fault-tolerant devices. In this work, we propose a
semi-quantum restricted Boltzmann machine (sqRBM), a model
designed to overcome difficulties associated with QRBMs. The
sqRBM Hamiltonian commutes in the visible subspace while
remaining non-commuting in the hidden subspace, enabling us
to derive closed-form expressions for output probabilities
and gradients. Our analysis shows that, for learning a given
distribution, a classical model requires three times more
hidden units than an sqRBM. Numerical simulations with up to
100 units validate this prediction. With reduced resource
demands, sqRBMs provide a feasible framework for early
quantum generative models.},
