Image Classification Using CNN-QNN Hybrid Model with Optimized Correlated Features

We propose a method to optimize the correlation among convolutional neural network (CNN) features that are used as inputs to quantum neural network (QNN) to enhance image classification accuracy. Unlike prior approaches that employ orthogonal decomposition as preprocessing, we intentionally introduce correlated features that are more physically compatible with QNN.

QiT: Quantum-Inspired Transformer for Visual Recognition Task

QiT is a Quantum‑Inspired Transformer designed for visual recognition tasks. It replaces quantum neural network concepts with scalable classical operations: angle‑inspired encoding of image tokens, self‑attention over periodic features approximating quantum fidelity kernels, and gated multiplicative emulation of variational circuit interactions. The model achieves competitive performance on image‑classification benchmarks, matching a classical Transformer while avoiding the high runtime costs of simulated quantum models.

Hybrid Variational Quantum-Classical Framework with Adaptive Weighting and Efficiency Assessment

Hybrid Variational Quantum-Classical Framework with Adaptive Weighting and Efficiency Assessment introduces Sim‑HVQC, a hybrid deep quantum neural network that integrates an adaptive, parameter‑free SimAM weighting module with classical feature extraction to retain class‑discriminative information before encoding into a Variational Quantum Circuit. Unlike prior work limited to binary classification, this framework is trained and evaluated on multiple multi‑class datasets such as MNIST, KMNIST, Fashion‑MNIST, and EMNIST. The study highlights reproducibility, parameter efficiency, and interpretability through multi‑seed evaluation, parameter analysis, and latent/quantum feature inspection, with source code publicly available on GitHub.
