The privacy in classical federated learning can be breached through the use of local gradient results by using engineered queries from the clients. However, quantum communication channels are considered more secure because the use of measurements in the data causes some loss of information, which can be detected. Therefore, the quantum version of federated learning can be used to provide more privacy. Additionally, sending an $N$ dimensional data vector through a quantum channel requires sending $\log N$ entangled qubits, which can provide exponential efficiency if the data vector is obtained as quantum states. In this paper, we propose a quantum federated learning model where fixed design quantum chips are operated based on the quantum states sent by a centralized server. Based on the coming superposition states, the clients compute and then send their local gradients as quantum states to the server, where they are aggregated to update parameters. Since the server does not send model parameters, but instead sends the operator as a quantum state, the clients are not required to share the model. This allows for the creation of asynchronous learning models. In addition, the model as a quantum state is fed into client-side chips directly; therefore, it does not require measurements on the upcoming quantum state to obtain model parameters in order to compute gradients. This can provide efficiency over the models where parameter vector is sent via classical or quantum channels and local gradients are obtained through the obtained values of these parameters.
