A Quantum-Inspired Dequantization Method for Diagonally Weighted Matrix Functions: Application to Learning with Optimized Random Features

The paper introduces a classical algorithm that dequantizes a quantum sampler used for learning with optimized random features. By sampling heavy indices and reducing the transformation to a small principal block, the method produces a sparse classical representation with operator‑norm guarantees. This approach enables a classical sampler with specified accuracy and polynomial runtime, demonstrating that quantum block‑encoding factorizations can provide sufficient classical structure even when direct sampling access to the composite matrix is unavailable.

Towards Surrogate Based Dequantization of Quantum Reinforcement Learning

The paper investigates whether quantum reinforcement learning algorithms can be matched by efficient classical methods. It focuses on a simplified reinforcement learning setting with a uniform generative model, providing finite‑sample guarantees for classical kernelized Fitted Q‑Iteration that uses kernels aligned with parameterized quantum circuits. The authors identify sufficient conditions on data encoding, kernel choice, and problem structure under which this classical approach dequantizes quantum Q‑learning, and suggest using kernelized Fitted Q‑Iteration as a heuristic when those conditions cannot be verified.

TT-net: Quantum Inspired Tensor Network Denoising in Conditional GANs

TT‑Net introduces a two‑cut tensor‑train decomposition to replace the per‑channel SVD denoising block in conditional GANs, enabling direct cross‑channel information access. In controlled experiments, TT‑Net outperforms SVD‑Net on PSNR and SSIM for Gaussian, motion blur, and salt‑and‑pepper noise, and surpasses EigenGAN and Pix2pix for Gaussian noise. Training dynamics reveal that TT‑Net’s adversarial loss saturates while reconstruction quality continues to improve, raising questions about the role of the adversarial component.
